Bikecheck: Will Charlwood's Custom Painted Partymaster V2
Another beautiful custom painted frame left Patrick Franta's workshop and found it's way to UK's Will Charlwood. We were just out in Copenhagen last week and shot photos of his new bike, damn that thing looks tight! Peep more photos below along with all the specs.
Firstly I wanna say a massive big up to everyone who made this build a reality. Patrick, JJ, Mitch, The Rise and my others sponsors. Literally a dream come true in every way and I fully don’t believe the opportunity and the bike is mine!
Patrick firstly approached me back in may 2024 after finishing Max's frame and working on Alexis, asking if I wanted to be part of these insane custom Partymasters. I was gassed up and blown away he’d asked me to work on this project.
Straight away me and my brother Noah sat down working on designs trying to come up with something different and specific to me. We had a lot of back and forth with Patrick with designs which was hard because I don’t like much colour on my bikes which narrows options for a crazy designs but I knew I wanted white.
October came around and we finally were happy with the rough design. Patrick could still be creative and expand upon too and he got to work saying he was gunna keep me updated but not show me the final design till it arrived to me.
Tell you what, when I saw the frame I was shook bruv, literally everything I wanted it to be if not more. Patrick is a G and really went all out on the design, the quality and the effort put in is so clear!
Again a huge thank you to everyone involved it really is so appreciated.
Big up,
Peace
