Design
Some customers know exactly what they want and look to VéloColour to execute their ideas, others don’t have a creative bone in their body. Either way, we’re here to help. Both Noah and Suzanne have design and fine art education and are more than qualified to help you make your dream bike come together with custom design work for you. Send us some inspiration images with colours, patterns or anything else that excites you and we can take it from there. Inspiration unrelated to bicycles can sometimes offer more freedom of design.
We’ll provide you with 2-3 frame and fork drawings, giving you options in colour and design and options to adjust from there- from $275
