So I’m a bit biased as a Torontonian, but they are great folks and their work is excellent. There’s often a wait list but that’s always a good sign - just like a good restaurant, or barber, etc 😀

[GonaSovereign]

They’re riding pals of mine, so I’m predisposed to liking their stuff.
Having said that, I happily waited a long time and paid plenty for a frame set repaint, and later a fancy fork. I expect I’ll do it again in the future. Money well spent. Good peeps with a good outlook. Really good accessories, too.

[Mzilliox]

yes, they are absolutely crushing the game with paint right now.

im ready to send them my goodrich here soon and say "keep the same blue as the primary and have fun with the rest!":banana::banana::banana:

[dancinkozmo]

it will be really tough to "plus" that paintjob

I think the fade on ergott’s Ottrott has to be one of their all-time best paint jobs. So many killer paint jobs from Noah.

That’s some next level sh@#! Thanks for sharing this, Angry. I wonder what something like this costs?

Beautiful, just beautiful.

I also am curious about how much a paint job like that costs.

The problem I would have would be deciding on the colors and paint scheme. Overwhelming

Around $3500 - $4000, depending on the number of colors and the amount of masking and labor. That said, they do offer much less expensive options.

They have just completed a third bike for me, a labor-of-love first racing bike that now has a paint job that's 5 times the price of the bike.

I started painting bikes with Noah and Suzanne, and I'll keep doing it.

Yea, if you are looking for something special, and if you want some really top design choices from the benefit of someone else's creativity, Noah, Suzanne and Co are a tough choice to beat. The modern take on my favorite Telekom team paint looks pretty pedestrian compared to some of their work but I love that they sent me three mock-ups to choose from and the execution is top notch. My photography doesn't do it justice. Inside fork leg details match the downtube design with opposing triangles.
