Steps to design your dream bike

Step 1. Paint Finish

There are two paint finishes to choose from; Matt or Gloss. The default finish is Gloss, whereas Matt adds £50 to the cost.

Gloss

The default Gloss paint adds a highly reflective sheen for a slick, contemporary look.

Matt finish

The Matt look is extremely popular thanks to its ability to soften up the look and accentuate every shape and curve of the frame.

Step 2. Frame Colour

Select the main frame colour. You can choose a single solid colour throughout or opt for a two-colour fade (gradient, see step 4 for more information).

Step 3. Decal Colour

Choose which decal colour you prefer. There's no shortage of options, with 17 colours to pick from.

Step 4. Gradient

Feeling extra creative? Why not add a second colour to the frame by adding a 135° gradient to create a stunning two-tone paint finish like the one pictured below.
