This beautiful Arabesque has had a full repaint and detail, by Chris Howard, of Cycloretro in Australia and included gold plating of the seat and chain stays, fork, and frame lugs. The paint is a beautiful, rich metallic Blue, which sets off the gold plating perfectly.
The bike also features a 24 carat Gold plated Campagnolo C Record groupset, including Delta brakes, and 24 carat gold plated Campagnolo Record rims built into Gold Record hubs. The saddle is an Iscaselle Giro d Italia, and custom gold braided brake cable outlets are used.
