Blacked out ride

Just got frame back from custom paint. Build to follow but wanted to share what the painter came up with. Flat black finish with gloss. The build will follow similar theme of being blacked out. Notice on the finish the inside of rear triangle and clear “cervelo” on inside of seat stays and also “e” on inside of chain stay. From a distance the whole frame looks black, but you can look at it up close for a few minutes and still notice all of the small details. For now:

Very Cool. Talented painter.

Very nice. Of course, the 2005-6 P3-SL anodized all black was the original classic :wink:

Looks awesome! Can’t wait to see the finished bike!

Who did the work? Cost?

Finally, someone that gets it right. Very impressive. All murdered out FTW.

I’m thinking, when I have some training down time, to paint my P3 flat black and gun metal to match the DA 9700. Your clear decals give me some new ideas. I’ll try not to ape too much of your design :slight_smile:
+1 on who did the work?

Local guy I am friends with painted it. Here are some other examples of his work:

Very good! Back in the 90s GT made a production Zaskar with the same color design. Pinarello has also the new Dogma in BoB (Black on Black)

that bike will eat a lot of souls.

It has undoubtedly already crushed one or two dreams.

That’s such a clean Ridley.

classy custom ! would look great with that blacked out disc on the flickr page

Sorry for the delay in posting pics of it built. These are from after a TT I did yesterday. Still trying to dial fit in.

as the proprietor of such a fine set of wheels, you should know better than to leave 3cm+ of spacers above the stem.

get the saw out, good man, and post some new pictures once she’s all gussied up.

Always my favorite color scheme. Nice job.
