In recent weeks the team has been faced with one of the most difficult decisions it is forced to make: what custom paint scheme to use on our Garneau framesets that get magnificently painted in the Garneau Dream Factory. It is a topic that provokes intense discussion within the team every single year. And yet every single year the Dream Factory manages to nail our vision, delivering framesets that we're proud to race. Before the big reveal of our fifth generation paint scheme (which for the first time will be applied to a disc road bike) we decided to take a look back at all four generations of paint scheme the team has ridden, going way back to our first year riding Garneau bikes in 2014.

The ClassicS: First Generation Dream Factory Paint Schemes

In many ways our first generation of Garneau Dream Factory frames, designed and ordered in 2014, remain our favorites. As bike aesthetics have evolved the paint layouts are perhaps a bit aged but we believe those original paint schemes largely stand the test of time - the matte baby blue, cream and navy just worked. Indeed through all of the epic mid-race crashes and intra-team bike trading there are still a number of these bikes trolling the rough New York City streets several years later.
