2 ______ A CUSTOM GEOMETRY.
Your bespoke bike will have a one-of-a-kind frame in the world
We study the geometry of the frame on your biometric measurements. Frame and body are one thing on your bespoke bike The One. A perfect definition of angles and proportions of the tubes allows an ideal distribution of the forces and balancing of the weight between the front and rear wheel. No effort while pedaling, the forces are optimized to the maximum, to let you concentrate on what you are experiencing. Enjoy the journey, just think about nothing.

Look at it up close
STYLE DECLARATION, YOURS.
The iconic The One headbadge will show everyone that your style is unique and 100% Made in Italy. Handcrafted using pantographing techniques, it features ‘The One’ along with the tricolor, carefully hand-painted. An exclusive detail that expresses elegance and a passion for quality.
NO ONE WILL NEVER DELETE YOUR NAME.
On the bicycle, a brass hexagonal plate is welded to the microfused bottom bracket, hand-engraved with your initials, the frame’s unique serial number, the Scatto Italiano initials, and those of the craftsman who handcrafted the frame exclusively for you. Your frame will be yours and only yours.
THE STRENGTH OF ATOMIC BLAST.
We do not use TIG welding, which directly melts the tubes, weakening them. Instead, we use microfused junctions joined with brazing and a high-silver alloy. This alloy penetrates the tube structure through atomic diffusion, creating an optimal fusion that absorbs vibrations.
HAND ENGRAVINGS.
The hand engravings of the Scatto Italiano logo adorn the fork crown and the two pendants, making the frame immediately recognizable. Every detail is designed to express uniqueness and refinement. A The One stands out precisely for these handcrafted finishes that enhance its identity.
THE CARVED AND HAND REEL PENDANTS.
The pendants, hand-engraved with the Scatto Italiano logo, are cut transversely at the point of connection with the microfused junction, creating an elliptical plane that facilitates a perfect fit during the hand-flattening phase of the welding. All made by hand, just like in the old days.
THE HANDCRAFTED BRAKE BRIDGE.
The brake bridge is handcrafted and designed to be drilled later, if necessary, for the installation of the rear brake or fender. We anticipate your future needs, offering solutions that adapt to every requirement, even before they become a necessity.
DROPOUTS WITH STAINLESS STEEL SLIDERS.
The rear dropouts have a horizontal orientation, allowing the chain to stretch to its maximum by sliding the wheel’s axle to the desired position. Special stainless steel sliders make it easy to attach/detach the wheel, ensuring that your frame is preserved, kilometer after kilometer.
ALL-LENGTH CUSHION.
The fork crown and legs are curved to optimize stress absorption, improving both comfort and frame durability. This choice ensures excellent mechanical response and gives the bicycle a harmonious elegance, enhancing both the design and the quality of construction.

WHY A STEEL FRAME?
BECAUSE IT’S ULTRA-LIGHT
1.
We chose Columbus steel because it is ultra-light. With just 1.7 kg of weight it is pure power for all routes you want to travel with your bespoke bike (* reference to size 55 for height 1,77/1,79 m).
BECAUSE IT’S SAFE.
2.
Steel is immune to crash failure unlike composite materials. In case of a fall, you will immediately notice if the frame is damaged. Our frame The One will never have secrets for you.
BECAUSE IT’S SUITABLE FOR EVERY SITUATION.
3.
Ideal for both urban routes and long distances, the steel frames have a very high fatigue endurance. Steel has a rigidity 3 times greater than aluminum and 2 times greater than titanium, so its ability to withstand deflection under strain is very high. Pedal without worries, your The One will go with you wherever you want.
BECAUSE IT’S ETERNAL.
4.
Thanks to the anti-rust cataphorese treatment that we apply on all The One frames, we make our steel eternal. You can go wherever you want and pass your bike down from generation to generation. A The One frame is for life, and more.
4 ______ GRAPHICS.
You are unique, so you deserve a unique graphic project.
Your The One will be the bespoke bike of your dreams. Everything you tell us and also what you won’t but we’ll understand anyway, we’ll turn into precise decisions that will make your The One unique, just like you. Sketch designs will become 3D modeling and then ultra-realistic renderings. We’ll introduce you to The One and it will be like looking at yourself in the mirror. Test us. We are ready to realize your dreams.
DREAMS ARE REALITY.
The dreams come true for those who decided to join The One club and want to share them with you. Each The One is the extension of the body of its owner. Mechanics and aesthetics are designed together to give the best. Take a look and let yourself be inspired. We make unique decisions to make unique bikes, just like you.
“The first time I saw the project, I thought: “Okay, let’s go! It has to be mine!”
THE ONE CLOE
Ruggero, entrepreneur, owner of a Scatto Italiano in Milan
“I received the gem, it’s fantastic!!! Thank you so much.”
THE ONE CORSA
Carlo, owner of a The One in Pakistan
“My Scatto Italiano is Italian spirit, quality, passion, meticulousness, and creativity. Excuse me, now I’m off to pump up my tires!”
Andrea
Photographer, owner of a Scatto Italiano in Milan.
5 ______ NOT A SIMPLE COLOR.
The graphics are coloured through painting masks.
If the starting DNA of your The One bike is a track frame in hand-welded Columbus steel, even on the painting we chose a precise DNA: the historical technique of painting masks. We don’t use stickers, so the hands of our artisans, with decades of experience, give colour to the graphics designed specifically for you. It’s a process that requires love and a lot of passion and it’s just what your The One will be made of.
We will change your idea of colour.
More than 2800 colours, but we don’t stop here. Metallic paint, pearly, pastel, gilding, chrome, and if all this were not enough, we’ll create a custom colour, just for you. There are no obstacles we don’t overcome to make the bike of your dreams.
ONLY AND EXCLUSIVELY YOURS.
With the complete tintometric coloring system and a spectrophotometer for color reading, we are able to reproduce any shade if you have an object you care about. If you don’t, we will create a color that represents your personality. We want to create a unique and unmistakable color for you, one that will be yours and only yours.
PRECIOUS FUSION.
With the frame immersion system in a series of special baths, we will make your The One frame stronger and shinier than ever. Gold plating and chroming are not just treatments; they fuse with the frame’s surface to make it even more resistant to external elements and allow you to mirror yourself in a design like no other
VIBRANT BEAUTY
The deep and intense clarity of the pastel paints makes the surfaces vivid and vibrant. The glossy finish of the final layer of paint further amplifies the shine effect. We want your The One to be made of extraordinary reflections with infinite levels of contrast and brightness, depending on the light that hits it, creating a dynamic and captivating visual experience.
BRILLIANT PERSONALITY
A heart made of metallic particles and minerals is mixed into the paint to create iridescent plays of light. Day or night, the metallic, pearlescent, or metallized paints of The One frames create shifting, shimmering reflections with a striking color effect that changes with every angle. Color is not just a choice; it’s a statement.
ELEGANT VELVET.
Soft as silk but with the heart of a warrior, our matte paints give character and elegance to your custom bike, The One. They’ll captivate you both to the touch and the eye, but don’t be fooled—they’re stronger than you think. They shine without reflections, being strong with a gentle touch. You won’t go unnoticed.

6 ______ COMPONENTS.
Only the best components.
A precise mechanical sensation makes possible a great feeling of freedom. This is what happens when you ride a The One. The custom-made frame in Columbus steel is combined with the best ultralight components on the market. Your The One will be a pure extension of your body: that’s what we want. No mechanical noise, you will only hear the one of your heart.
We make unique your components.
Every The One project is unique, so there are no limits of workmanship or realization that can stop us in making unique your The One. Every time, we find the best craftsmen and the most suitable processing techniques. Don’t limit your imagination, we won’t do that.
Here there are some examples of what we can do.
AN INCISION IS FOREVER.
We use permanent laser and manual engraving techniques, to make each processing unalterable, clear and well defined. We make everything tailor-made for you, nothing is already written.
THE FIL ROUGE.
Your The One has a graphic fil rouge that crosses it. From the frame to the components our painters never get back from creating the most elaborate and meticulous details. Our stories are made of lines and colors, we can’t wait to write yours.
INDELIBLE SIGN IN THE HEART AND IN THE STEEL.
We engrave the hard heart of steel with the pantograph, because your The One must be the mirror of your personality and of what you love. Whether it’s a name, a number or anything else, our priority is to realize your desires. Tell us who you are, we will transcribe it on your bike.
