Met a guy out riding earlier with his new $17k bike
Speedvagen:
It was very like this one I google image searched for. Just more mono chromatic. No blue, but lots of silver, metallic, and shades of silver/greys/blacks. Same pump paint pattern carry over...
His was Di2 Dura-Ace, this one in the pic is cabled D/A.
I will put it this way, if I am him out on my $17k one off custom bike and saw the one in this pic... I would be pissed. It is way more similar than different than the one I saw. Just different colors in the scheme.

I dunno
My Sachs looks exactly like a thousand others.
I doubt this guy was paying for a custom paint job.

Did Richard call yours a one-off?

Custom geometry makes a bike a "one-off". The paint doesn't necessarily have anything to do with it. Heck, a custom Ti bike doesn't even need paint, yet is can certainly be a one-off.
OTOH, a one-off paint job can be applied to an off-the-shelf frame. Does that make the bike a "one-off"?

No
I don’t know what a “one-off” is, or who called this bike one. My Sachs is a custom bike, built to my measurements, weight, etc. He built one of them.
