You got a weird bump in the middle of the top tube. Take it back and see if you can get one without that bump.

Other than that bump with the black stripe, that is one smokin ride. If you need a place to store it, I can pay for shipping and will forward an address.

Nice looking bike. Have you ridden those wheels for a while or are they new? Fairly durable for a clyde?

Nice ride! I came very close to picking up a Fetish Cycles frame set back in the fall. Figured it would make a great Crit bike.

Dare I ask what became of the fork donor BMC?
