Photo Story: A very custom Antidote Carbonjack 29

In this day and age, despite the enormous range of fantastic bicycles in all shapes, sizes and colors to satisfy all tastes, the trend towards highly individualised bikes seems to be on the rise. While some wicked individuals like Dangerholm focus heavily on technical tuning with the aim of achieving the extremely low weight and ultimate performance, other custom bike enthusiasts and customers strive above all for meticulous color matching and unique look of their dream machines.

Stefan, the owner of RTB Bikes, the German exclusive distributor of Antidote Bikes, didn’t have to look far for inspiration when he built his 2020 Carbonjack 29. Porsche Panamera GTS Sport Turismo with its striking paint job called Mamba Green and colors to satisfy all tastes, the trend towards highly individualised bikes seems to be The goal was simple. His new superbike had to perfectly match his supercar – the 2019 Metallic. With the goal set, Tom, the co-owner of RTB Bikes, took over the customisation of all parts and the final build.

Antidote Bikes not only produce their frames entirely in-house in Poland, but also have their own paint shop and offer custom paintwork in pretty much every color imaginable, making such individual dream builds possible.

Of course, a bespoke frame paint job alone does not turn a bike into a superbike. The hand-picked components also leave nothing to be desired and not only fit the high-performance and color theme, but some of them, like the elusive Trickstuff Direttissima brakes, also bring a healthy dose of the finest German engineering into the equation. The result is a truly stunning and one of its kind machine that without a doubt is worthy of the Superbike badge.
