• With an Olagnero frameset on its way to me I have been daydreaming of custom paint jobs.

    A while back I stumbled on a new frame builder and was impressed by their paint: minimalist, uber-cool, asymmetric pinstripes etc etc.

    Of course, I've forgotten who they were now: I know it's not a lot to go on, but can you suggest some names please.

    Like I say, they're a new outfit (so not Argos, Atlantic Boulevard etc), they might have been "oop North" and might have had a blog rather than a website.

    All suggestions gratefully received...

  • Death spray custom?

  • Thanks, but it wasn't them: the outfit I'm thinking of are actual framebuilders, although it is their in-house/tame paint wizard that I'm after.

  • Feather?

  • I thought you had it there, with it being a blog and all, but no.

    Amazing work, but more traditional than who I'm thinking of.

    Thanks anyway!

  • was that the company producing one piece stems and bar combo's ? asymetric pinstriping on the bars
    there was a thread started by one of the people working for that company

    i can't think of the name now but remember thinking how nice the intergrated bars were

    let me take some time for quiet contemplation and a play around with the search function and hopefully it shall be found

  • I don't remember bar/stem combos, but the pinstriping sounds promising!

    I'll have a trawl as well...

  • i'm pretty sure the guys log in was the name of the company

  • Check track sub-forum

  • field ... thats it

  • lovely stuff

  • http://cromaworks.com/

    ?

    Sheffield based I think.

    YES! Many thanks everyone: just wish I'd checked back here sooner, having spent the last hour trawling through "bikes & bits"...

    It was the 853 cross bike I particularly liked, reminded me of the old Porsche Martini team colours.
