It’s all in the finish!

We spent last weekend at the Berlin Bike Show – Berliner Fahrradshau – checking out a vast array of stunning bikes, components and accessories, and here's our round-up of the ones with the most interesting and imaginative finishes.

Zullo 

This bike from Zullo has a really unusual mustard/brown marble finish along with a polished driveside chainstay and fork. It look pretty neat, huh?

Festka

The top layer of the carbon tubing on this bike from Festka is striking.

Those are gold bananas on the fork, head tube, bottom bracket shell and seat cluster.

Velocipedo 

This Velocipedo DisCourse is made from high-modulus carbon. It’s not often that the frame/fork colour is carried over to the rims, seatpost and stem (unless you count black as a colour!).

Check out our short video of it on Instagram.

The Velocipedo Gentleman is titanium with a mainly matt finish but we really like the patterned seat tube.

Tommasini

This steel Tommasini has beautiful detailing along the top tube.

Coh&Co

Coh&Co makes its bikes from ash and walnut laminates with carbon-fibre in certain areas to provide reinforcement (the black line you can see on the picture below). 

Check out this detail on the top tube...

Brick Lane Bikes

London’s Brick Lane Bikes offer many cool finishes that you can apply yourself. This is a clear coat finish called keirin liquid glass purple. We’ve put a short video on Instagram that gives you a better idea of how it glints and sparkles.

This one is keirin flake multi painted on top of Brick Lane Bikes black. As you can see, this time the flakes are various different colours.

Melon 

Melon offers a zillion different finishes in its Urban Active collection. 

This one (below) was a finalist in a Revierhelm Arts Contest.

Nutcase

This Space Cadet design is in Nutcase’s Youth range although there are similarly off-the-wall designs for adults.

Huez

London’s Huez will launch this jacket, with 3M reflectivity to get you noticed at night, in August. 

In normal circumstances it looks black.

Like existing Huez clothing, it has a Quickburst system that allows you to open the zip superfast from the middle. 

This new men’s jersey has an unusual rock-type appearance.

This jersey is part of Huez’s first women’s lineup that’s due to launch any time now.

Urban Proof

The watermelon finish is one of a whole range that Urban Proof offers on its Ding Dong bell.

Coco-Mat

This isn’t a wood-effect finish, this is an olive wooden saddle from Greece’s Coco-Mat. Nice grain, huh? And you don’t often say that about a saddle.
