Here you will find the color schemes for which we currently have photos, we will add more as images become available. Many are available now, some are closed, in the sense that the Bottega does not want to change the colors with which they were born, others are open in the sense that it is possible to change the colors. It always pays to ask.
When asking for past color schemes or those that you have found on the internet including those listed here as "not available" or "bespoke": due to a tendency toward giving in to the earnest requests, Dario deleted many of the graphics files related to the past and once gone those designs are lost forever. All the forks are painted to match the frame base color. Please don't ask him to paint the fork with a pattern that matches the frame. On occasion, for some lucky riders the Bottega has been known to continue Ciavete designs onto the forks, we have no control of when this happens.
If you want to change the colors of a scheme, the Bottega will accept only RAL colors codes as reference. The Bottega may apply a surcharge for this option, please ask for a quote.*

Ciavete (Whatever the artist happens to want)
The Ciavete paint scheme is hand painted at Dario's discretion. The colors and graphics will be whatever he chooses to do at the time. If you order the Ciavete paint you are giving him full license to create the frame graphics. Due to the unique nature of this paint scheme, each will be one of a kind. No instructions or direction are accepted for this design. Please don’t ask for a reproduction of a Ciavete paint scheme you’ve previously seen, as the idea behind Ciavete is for each frame to be a unique work. If you are not comfortable with this please order something else.
