The 14 made in Italy colors, lead time
All products you find in our shop are available from stock. Choose whichever you see fit to your style. You can customize it in every part and therefore also in the price. The main customizations are related to the components such as saddle, braking system, rim, tire, pedal, etc. and then there is the color, too.
All our aluminum parts are anodized in Italy and we offer 14 different colors. Here are the lead times of the anodized components:
THE RIMS
19”rims: all colors are in stock.
Other rim sizes: we have almost always all colors in stock, however, if the one you wish is currently not available, don’t worry it will take only 3 workings days for anodizing.
THE ROUND 20" FRAMES
Colors with no surcharge are all in stock.
The colors with surcharge are customized Just in Time, that is, as soon as we receive your order, the anodizing process starts in the color of your choice and then we perform the laser marking. These steps take place in 5 max. 9 working days.
THE POWER SQUARE AND MUNI FRAMES
are not always in all 14 different colors in stock. If the color you wish is not available at the moment, we need 5 to max. 9 working days for anodizing and laser marking.
THE CRANKS
For colors with surcharge we need 5 to max. 9 working days for anodizing and laser marking.
THE ANODISING PROCESS - ONE THING TO KNOW
Anodisation is a fascinating process that enhances the durability and appearance of aluminum parts.
The aluminum parts are immersed in an acid electrolyte bath.
An electric current is passed through the bath, causing a controlled oxidation reaction. This forms a thick, protective oxide layer on the surface of the aluminum.
The anodized layer can absorb dyes, giving the aluminum parts a variety of colors. We offer 14 different colors for all our alu parts.
This process not only improves corrosion resistance and wear properties but also allows for a range of aesthetic finishes.
If the color tone of two components has a small difference, it is not a defect. We explain why.
Let's take an example. You have chosen rim and cranks anodized in light blue. It may happen that there is a slight difference in the color tone between these two parts. This is not a defect, but is due to the difference in the type of aluminum (rim and cranks are both aluminum but are of different alloys), and from the anodizing process.
