Fairwheelbikes worked recently on an amazing project called Goldmember. I think you guessed that the bike is exceptionnal and most parts are unique. Not unique for their weight or their mechanical properties but rather for their look and their anodization.
Mostly black, the bike has some gold parts everywhere. We can really stand that it’s a custom bike because of its look.

| The derailleurs couldn’t be anodized because of some parts made out of steel. Only the aluminium and the titanium can be anodized. So they were painted. Chainrings bolts are gold as the pedals, the chain and the cassette. |

| The wheels didn’t have to be modified since they already have gold spokes, however quick releases received a special anodization for titanium. |
