In an interview with us, Dario Pegoretti said that he was “just tired of painting [his] frames with the most traditional and fashionable colours organised in sterile graphics and patterns.”

Dario likes to do things differently; treating his hand-built steel bike frames as a canvas, these inspired designs are works of art in themselves.

I started thinking about frames as canvases. I had always loved art, especially abstract expressionism, so I started there.
