The technical trail riding steel hardtails of Nordest Cycles just got more personal with a new custom paint program. Available exclusively on their affordable 4130 framesets for enduro, all-mountain, and adventure biking, Nordest is also highlighting their hardtails’ versatility. Plus, Nordest has teased us with the first look at a new gravel bike coming at the start of next year in both steel or titanium…
Nordest Cycles custom painted 4130 steel trail mountain bikes
Now offered only on Nordest Cycles’ enduro Bardino & trail or bikepacking Sardinha, the custom paint is now available on either of the 550€ steel frames. Opting for the custom finish adds 150€ to either bike, meaning a frame-only price of 700€ for the Bardino, the same 700€ for the Sardinha frame, or 870€ for the Sardinha frameset including a painted-to-match bikepacking-ready steel fork.
Custom paint includes one or two solid colors, plus the flexibility to slightly modify or even simplify some of the Nordest decals. Custom paint is managed now by contacting Nordest directly, with fast turnaround, just about one week to paint the bike in-house in their shop in Portugal once the design & colors are approved.
Nordest Bardino orange 79er monster enduro, all-mountain hardtail
The first in the Nordest custom paint program is a unique orange Bardino. Beyond just getting a bright paintjob, this Bardino also gets a unique build mixing a 27.5+ rear wheel and a 29″ front wheel for a more technical trail build.
Nordest says the mixed wheel setup, pairing a 27.5 x 2.8″ rear tire to a 29 x 2.4″ front tire, isn’t only about making the bike look more aggressive.
