My new bike

A few weeks ago I got my new bike from "wrench science".
It's a wonderfull ride, and I wanted to share it's beauty with you.
The pictures are far from doing it justice.

Wow... that's a sweet bike. Tell us about the chainstay area. are the stays also Al or Ti? I notice they seem to be inserted into lugs in the BB. Is that true or just a pigment of my imagination due to the difference in colour? Also, the bolt-assembly between the dropout and the carbon seat-stays... is it a pivot like the ones in the stays of some Merlin bikes or is it simply just for joining the carbon seat-stays to the dropouts in a fixed position?

The chainstays are Al, covered with some matte silver stuff. There are no lugs in the BB, just a round smooth attachment of the tubes. As to the dropout and seat-stays assembly, I'm not sure, but I think it's just a fixed join.

Very sweet ride from a classic Italian builder! Should have gone with components to match that headset though

I was quite happy with wrench science. Their service was prompt and mannerly. There were some minor mismatches between the order and the actual delivery, but they are correcting it.
