She's a head turner fo' sho', but I'm not sure that I would call her beautiful; the pics don't really show how obnoxiously bright the paint job is. Cool, but not classy, you know? But yeah, it's got an IGH, an Alfine 8 that I'm going to replace with an 11 next summer.

If you're looking for a bright paint job, I liked what was done with the Nashbar C'cross frame in this thread. If I had a place where I could paint frames, I'd do something similar to my Nashbar bike.
