Thanks. The builder has a great aesthetic. He's twice won best MTB at the North American Hand Built Bicycle Show. The wheels with the red hubs were swapped from another bike, so the aesthetic had to be designed around that. The finish is a custom blended Cerakote, which is a ceramic coating. The primary consumer application is the coating of firearms, more and more people are starting to use it on bikes. It's stronger, lighter and cheaper than paint. You spray on one coat and bake it in the oven. Enve has approved the process and thus the treatment does not void the warranty. I was thinking a little more pistachio in nature, but this sea foam green turned out well. Mixing and application of the Cerakote was done by paintbytodd.com. You cannot see it, but on the left chainstay there is a small LOVE Statue decal.
