After a very long wait… it’s finally happening 👀🚴♂️
The frame: Quick Pro ER:ONE
Custom paint: Yes — total no brainer.
Anyone who’s had custom paint done locally knows you’re easily talking £1,000+ in the UK. When the factory option is just a couple of hundred dollars? Easy decision. I almost went for something like my current Tarmac SL8 (transparent vibes), but I figured it was time to try something different.
Instead of going through one of the big boys like Panda Podium or Quick Pro USA, I decided to support a local bike shop in Portugal — Ruben Bikes. Ruben’s a standalone store, not part of a bigger chain, and he’s a member of our forum/page. He was super helpful when I approached him, and realistically, most orders from big sites still come directly from Quick Pro in China anyway. So, why not support someone in our own community 💪
Colourway & inspiration:
Well this Colour way has now popped up all over the Social courtesy of a Cycling news post on the 25th of Jan
Ruben mentioned the Quick Pro ER:ONE frame and Team Euskaltel–Euskadi, and I’ll admit, I’d never heard of them before frame when I approached him about a frame and custom paint after he sent me an excel of custom paint option from other Quick Pro customers . After he showed me, I had a look online and found some Instagram videos and other footage of the frame in action. I liked the colour so much I decided to use it as inspiration.

UD raw gloss black at the rear
Deep orange at the front
Silver Decals
Decals & branding:
A lot of people mention that the names of Chinese brands on frames don’t always sound great which I agree with but its not a deal breaker when the cost comes into consideration. And the fact now that a western UCI Pro team is now riding this frame (Has been ridden well before Release with Asian Pro UCI teams) will probably now give More people the confide to buy it and this is what Marketers call “Social Proof” if you have never heard of this term look it up!
For my frame:
No team decals
Quick Pro logo on the down tube is silver, slightly tweaked: large “Quick”, small “Pro”, same colours as standard
I can't wait to see the bike assembled!
The choice of the "different" logo on the down tube suits us very well on paper....we'll see!
I've had my eye on this frame for a while now... the orange color doesn't drive me crazy, to be honest, but like all things, you should see it in real life.
I hope that the prices remain so competitive in the future too....if that's the case, I might think about it later too!
Congratulations on your purchase!
