As a proud Hot Salad custom bike owner myself, I am biased. But I was very much drawn to this B Vivit creation at the show. I mean, who doesn't love a frame in its raw, naked form?

Sure, bare steel can’t stay like this forever (it’ll oxidise quickly without paint or clear coat), but for the show it shimmered.

Vivit matched the raw tubes and colourful brazed joints with a splash of jade Chris King components, creating a bike that feels equal parts industrial and jewel-like.

A former UBI instructor and commercial titanium welder, Vivit is known for her love of Klunker bikes, her speed-hole accents and her wizardry with anodization.
