That is such a sweet bike. Good job. I think it might look even better if the bars were black.

Reebzor...****s dialed.
I'm gonna raw my frame soon, and get me an Orange Fly cable hanger, seatpost clamp and re-lace my front wheel with black spokes and orange nipples. Now i'm going to feel like a copy cat. Except i had my orange Profile hub first!

I saw most of the Kink complete bikes line today at this shop...
They all look great and have that 'custom' feel.

I'm going to keep the front rim till I build my new one. Blue Proper rim, purple nipples, pink Season hub, Ti spokes that I'll blowtorch.
And I'll eventually be painting the bars.
