When a custom approaches us about having an Independent Fabrication built, inevitably the conversation usually rolls around to paint once the frame is selected, sizing is done, and parts are chosen.
Indy Fab is known for some pretty amazing and exotic paint work, limited primarily to your imagination and how you can translate the idea from your head to their painter.
This particular example was done for a customer who knew what he was looking for, and was able to put that onto paper. IF has taken the idea and transferred it into rolling art. Luckily, underneath the beautiful paint is a North American Handmade Bike Show winner, so he gets the best of both worlds.
From the profile view you can start to appreciate the work that's gone into this bike. A corsa red head tube lug masked off on white carbon tubes and a red carbon seat tube dominate the scheme.
The white front and rear ends are set off by red stripes nicely shows the detail Independent is willing and able to provide.
The down tube "Independent Fabrication" logo is painted on, no decal here. A touch of class.
A true detail shot of the care in masking taken when painted the lugs. The crown details are masked perfectly to allow the small "window" inside the lug to show through.
The seat tube XS decal is placed on the titanium lug, just in case you forget what is going on under the beautiful paint.
This particular build consists of a SRAM Red drivetrain, Zipp Vuma Quad crankset, Zipp Service Course SL Short and Shallow bar and Service Course stem, Thomson Masterpiece seatpost, and Chris King headset. The build is capped off with ENVE 68 rims laced to a DT Swiss 240s front hub and PowerTap SL+ rear hub, all black.
