Road Cycling - I Know It Looks Like Crap..

This is my project bike right now, Orbea Starship w. custom paint.... with yes an Lemond fork. It came with a Muscle Carbon but *someone* (not me) broke the steerer with a Deda stem. Campy Centaur.

In late winter/early fall I'm either switching to Chorus or a Lemond 04 Ti frame, or both. Depending on cash flow of course.


Sorry for the crappy pic, I'm in a friends dorm room.

your custom paint does NOT look like crap

I think the paint job looks nice! :)

Having a bicycle is just a little like having a wife. The only person's opinion about it that counts is yours. Looks nice to me.

Before I started the build up, my old bike everything matched. Not to the point I was nuts.. but tires/tape and fork...

It'd be super easy to paint that fork black. Then it would look great.

To hell with pricey Project One Treks!

The pic doesn't look so crappy :)

Damn, Orbeas are sexy... I want one.

An Orbea starship frame is a beautiful thing! Why would you want to replace it? Switching from Centaur to Chorus won't make a huge difference to you unless your Centaur is wearing out, are you just looking for something new? I think you've got yourself one sweet ride there!

Oh, get one. I'd highly recommend the Ultrafoco carbon. Sweetest riding bike my arse has ever touched. Incredible stuff.

I think it's very patriotic Arsbars.:D
