Very nice stealthy looking!

At first it looks a little odd on the front, until I realized the shifters are not installed yet. :p

Looking great so far - can't wait for the finished product!!!

Man, Looks are so hot. I've been pining for a white 595 my shop has hanging on the wall, my size too - and it's right next to a black 585 with subtle graphics that's my size too. I know it's just a matter of time . . . .

Well that's something at least. I would probably guess I'd be huffing and puffing, thinking I'm delirious and hallucinating ... but then again, think "hey, that's Sean!"

Sean: Just for fun, take that bike to the hill in your neighborhood, hop on and start screaming, "OH MY GOD!!! NO BRAKES!!!" Then scream, "OH MY GOD!!! NO PEDALS!!!" Then scream, "OH MY GOD!!! NO CHAIN!!!"

Then when people come running, point and laugh at their concern, then tell them you're just building it up. HAHAHA.


Also, leaving the tags on the bottle cages is straight up pimp, yo. Like when ballers leave the stickers on their Starter caps, or the tags on their Air Jordans.

+1 - now just make sure you install them a little crooked, or even upside down. True ballers can't wear it straight - gotta have it slanted for some 'tude

I was more concerned about drinking the right amount of beer while building, and the tags would have made me fall behind, they will go tonight. The groupo will be here today. We will see how far I get. Im leaving early in the morning to go visit my parents tomorrow.
