I often describe getting a custom bike like getting the keys to the candy shop, but every so often you get a customer who gives the keys back and let’s us loose! Lawrence was one such customer and as you can see the result is just sublime. Grab a seta, sit back and find out all the little details that went into making this illustrious build.

Lawrence knew from the start he wanted our All-Road model the Mamtor for it’s versatility.For the first time we see our unique 3D printed seat-cluster and dropouts come to our gravel models, and paired them to the Enve integrated hidden-cable system. To achieve this we created our own oversized 54 ID headtube to accommodate the 1.5" bearing needed on the top of the assembly. This design adds strength by placing the bearings inside the headtube and sheds weight from the overall assembly, creating a technically beautiful and streamlined multipurpose all-road bike. 

We’ve made a name for ourselves for fantastic finishes and paint designs, and this build was one where we really got the chance to do something special. We approached Velofique Designs to produce one of her unique abstract hand-painted finishes for this build. Inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi (where broken pottery is beautified through gold leaf repair), Velofique has created an otherworldly tableau of hand-painted landscapes of golden waterfalls and trees. The finish is achieved through several layered experimental processes involving liquid masks to hand-painted techniques.

Those with a keen eye will spot that the 3D printing doesn't stop at the frame with the cranks being from Sturdy Cycles and printed in titanium. These have been paired to SRAM Red rings to round off the AXS wireless groupset. A build with an Enve cockpit would only be complete with Enve wheels, in this case the SES 3.4. The build also came with a set of Enve AG28 650b wheels and 42mm tyres for when rougher roads are on the cards. But would you ever dare take this off road?
