When VéloColour opened it’s doors in 2008 we were known mainly for restoration work, restorations of British, French, Italian steel bikes. Now that carbon bikes have been around for 15+ years we are starting to see more and more restorations of carbon frames. Quite frankly we love this! There is nothing more satisfying then bringing new life to a bicycle that our customers love to ride.

Interested in getting a touch up but have some questions before you book.? This blog might have the answers you are looking for.

As you know we are all about being kind to the environment and making quality work last. That is no different when it comes to our kit and gear repairs. Below we answer common questions and give some more info about the kit and gear repair process.

So, why Velocio? We ride our bikes, a lot and the gear we wear while doing it is serious business. Good cycling kit isn’t just about looking good, for us it’s also about quality, all day comfort, durability and details. Over the years, we’ve made a significant shift in focus, putting our environmental impact at the center of our decision making. Velocio constructs their items from recycled and natural fibers with a strong focus on how their products are made, they have been a longtime supporter of women and BIPOC communities within cycling.

Initially we had no idea if we could do it or how we would do it but the idea was too good to say no to. After lots of experimentation and 300 hours of focus and precision this Parlee Z-Zero is truly like no other.

This Saturday - July 17th - Active TO is coming to Ward 5’s Black Creek Dr. Getting as many people out as possible is the goal because we love seeing bikes filling up the streets. We’re excited to see the roads opening up to bicycles in our neighborhood and we want to help you get there. We put together a handful of routes so you can cycle from all over the city and turn Black Creek into a bicycle party. Check them out below and get in touch if you’ve got any questions.

We’re excited to announce that VéloColour is now an official supplier (and the first in Canada) of Bivo One, the stainless-steel water bottle with a flow-rate designed for cyclists. Metal bottles for cyclists may seem like a new concept, but actually, the Bivo is a throw-back to the very first bidon, made from aluminum with a cork stopper. We think they’re here to stay.

A behind-the-scenes look at the design process for a bicycle – modern or vintage – that involves a creative approach to the paint scheme. We call these projects “Custom Bikes” to distinguish them from classic restorations, even though the bike in question could be a 1960s steel-frame road bike.

Finally, you can get a Vélocolour bag to match your kit.

We’re excited to now offer custom bag packages to clubs and shops anywhere in the world. Three of our most-asked-for bags are available as part of the VC custom program: the Dynamite Roll, the Rocket Pocket, and our Classic Musette.

50% of profits from all Vélocolour products purchased between February 8th and March 8th will go directly to Black Creek Community Farm.

When it comes to painting a bicycle for a national champion, or two, the stakes are high. In this case, both Michael VDH, the Elite Cyclocross National Champ and Gunnar Holmgren, the boss of under 19 Canadian Cyclocross came to us with open minds and trust in our skill and process.

Are you having trouble deciding which Rocket Pocket size is right for you? What tools to carry? Or why we think it is the best saddle bag? Suzanne walks you through everything you need to know and why you’re gonna love it.

We often get questions about our design process. Before heading into the paint booth Suzanne works with clients to create something special, whether it’s a contemporary design or a vintage restoration.

We realized we’ve been so busy we forgot to recap the results of The Good Food Raffle we had back in April in support of The Stop
