With our latest custom project now out in the wild in the form of Adam Blythe’s very orange Datum, we got all misty-eyed about previous custom colourways! 

Over the past few years, when it has come to custom painting we’ve put our trust in one man. Doktor Bobby of Colourburn Studios in Bristol has produced exceptional and truly one-of-a-kind designs for all manner of Genesis bikes. 

We take a look back at some of the best...

Connor Swift’s Genesis Zero SL – 2018 British Road Race Champions edition



This special edition to celebrate Connor’s stripes really hit the mark. Wherever this bike went it drew huge attention, gaining critical acclaim from current and ex-pros alike. 
Connor Swift’s Genesis Zero SL Disc – 2018 British Road Race Champions edition



A very different take on the classic – take two added disc brakes and went geometric. A little more restrained than the original, but the beauty was in the detail.
Genesis Volare 931 Nonconformist

The latest and greatest in a long line of Volare’s?
Genesis Datum Nonconformist


Another example of Bobby’s Nonconformist editions, we can only imagine what this one looked like when completed!
Genesis Volare 931 x Podia

Created for our friends over at Podia, this added a touch of flare to our traditional road bike.
Genesis Volare 853 x Podia

The everyman Volare for the Podia guys – and the final one of the series. 
Genesis Volare 725 x Colourburn


An experiment by Bobby himself, this Volare turned out so well it was sold off of the production line down at Colourburn!
Genesis Volare 853 Free Range Duck Egg


A very different Volare – and we really like it.
