ANODISING
For riders who appreciate the beauty of raw titanium, anodising offers a stunning way to personalise your frame while retaining the character of the metal beneath.
Using an electrochemical process, anodising creates vibrant colours directly within the titanium surface without adding paint or significant weight. From subtle logos and graphics through to bold fades and multi-colour designs, the possibilities are surprisingly extensive.
We work closely with the talented team at Ninevolt in Melbourne to create durable, eye-catching finishes that celebrate the unique qualities of titanium.
Lightweight, distinctive and unmistakably titanium.

VINYL DECALS
Sometimes the smallest details make the biggest difference.
Our custom vinyl decal options allow you to personalise your bike with names, logos, graphics, alternate branding colours or unique design elements without committing to a permanent finish.
Produced in-house with the help of our local vinyl wizard, decals offer a flexible and cost-effective way to make your bike stand out from the crowd. They're also ideal for riders who may want to refresh or update their look over time.
Perfect for adding that final touch that makes the bike unmistakably yours.

No problem. Most riders start with a few ideas rather than a complete design. Our team can guide you through colours, finishes, inspiration and examples to create something that suits your style and riding personality.
Lead times vary depending on the finishing method and our partners' schedules. As a guide, most custom finish projects add between 2 and 8 weeks to the build process.

Yes. While we have trusted finishing partners in Melbourne, we're happy to work with your preferred local specialist if that's more convenient. We'll liaise directly with them to ensure everything meets our frame specifications and quality standards.
Vinyl decals are designed to be durable but can be removed or replaced in the future. This makes them a great option for riders who want to refresh their bike's appearance over time.
No. When completed through Wondercross-approved processes and partners, custom finishes do not affect your frame warranty.
Anodising is a beautiful finishing process that enhances the natural character of titanium while creating colours directly within the surface of the metal. It offers a unique look that simply can't be replicated with paint.
However, anodising is not indestructible. Areas exposed to frequent contact, such as frame bags, cable rub, heel rub or bikepacking luggage, can gradually wear or fade over time. For many riders, this natural patina becomes part of the bike's story and character, but it's worth considering if your bike will see heavy adventure riding or bikepacking use.
If maximum long-term cosmetic durability is your priority, custom paint may be the better option. If you love the raw beauty of titanium and appreciate a finish that evolves with your adventures, anodising is hard to beat.
A custom finish transforms your bike from something you own into something that's truly yours. It's an opportunity to tell a story, celebrate an adventure, honour a memory or simply create a bike that makes you smile every time you ride it.
