One-of-1 Paint Studio

Every Squad begins as raw carbon and only receives colour once your build is defined. Frames arrive at our facility and move straight into the paint factory in Knowlton, where each project is treated as a single, focused commission rather than stock.

Every Squad is painted and finished as a single, focused project in our Knowlton paint factory — from refined single-colour finishes to fully illustrated story frames. Before any colour goes on the frame, we confirm the design with you: palette, finishes, logos and small personal details, so the brief is crystal clear on both sides. From there, the work becomes very meticulous. Preparation is everything: inspection, sanding, priming and masking done by hand until the surface is perfect. Colour is built in controlled layers, sometimes with airbrush, sometimes with other techniques, always looking for balance in weight and line. Final clear — satin, gloss or a mix of both — is applied with the same care, then the frame is allowed to cure before it goes to assembly. Every project is measured, adjusted and almost caressed into place, all the way to the complete bike.

Our One-of-1 approach is not a special option — it’s the standard. Every road, gravel and triathlon build is specified for one rider, with its own paint brief and component spec. Many riders begin with our own colour families, palettes developed to sit beautifully on each platform. From there, we tune the finish with you: full gloss, soft satin or a mix of both; calm single colours, sharp contrasts or tone-on-tone work, always finished to your taste.

For a select group of builds, the story goes deeper. That’s when the One-of-1 paint factory becomes a true studio: dragons inspired by traditional art, race liveries, car-matched paint codes and fully illustrated frames that carry artwork from head tube to dropouts.

It’s the same facilities, the same hands, the same process — simply more hours and more layers of paint. Layout sketches, test panels, micro-details you only notice in the sun. No decals, no vinyl, no shortcuts. Just paint, clearcoat and a team that treats every frame, from a single-colour build to a dragon project, like it’s the only one.

We also apply this approach to corporate and team bikes. Board fleets, VIP gifts, shop or hotel bikes, race teams and ambassadors — all produced with the same factory-level control, but painted in your colours and story. Subtle logos or full brand liveries, one bike or a small series, each project still moves through our Knowlton factory as a one-of-one build for the person who will ride it.

How the One-of-One Studio Works

From first conversation to final torque check, every Squad follows the same path: define the brief, bring it to life in paint, then complete the build under one roof.

Dragon projects, Porsche and Bentley colour matches, Grand Héron and Voix Lactée themes, corporate and team bikes — all painted by hand under the same One-of-1 philosophy.
