Any idea what frame is it?

Looks acid bathed to me, but there's no mention of how it was done.
Mudguards are stainless GB, don't think those rust like that naturally.

Could also be oxidizing paint.

Or piss

Warhol bike?

Cheers!

Looks like paint to me and considering its an ali frame...

Straight to anti.

Agreed.

Just rust effect paint, saw it advertised somewhere as an "anti theft measure".

Is that the Tynan-Paste™ stuff I heard of?

Started a new job in a bike shop in Berlin and got this little thing as a 'company vehicle' until I build up my own commuter.

Hah!
Exactly
@PepOne

'Dienstwagen' means 'company car' in Dutch (for the people that don't know).

Also the frame is aluminium.. So it must be just paint.

In german too.

Sweet!

Beautiful. I especially like the top one; if for some reason you had to share a bike with a small child you could simply swap out the seatpost and both of you would be able to ride it. No doubt this is a common problem that has (until now) been unsolved.

Edit: or even better, get some sort of dropper post with like 50cm of drop and fit that to it. Perfect for MTB.

DeRosa is great!

Built this finally. Friends said it wasn't as ugly as they thought it'd be...

Needs coloured tyres

Those are £8 1.5" Bontrager slicks. Not quite as horrid as coloured ones but still amusing. If I find some cheap coloured ones I'll get one (obviously I don't want them to match)

Could be easily rectified.
Free things to do first:

• Lower rack
  
• Tension chain
  
• Sort out right brake lever
  

proper rad!
