I met Steve at the '15 un-meeting, great guy, we've been following the same path on frame conversion, and have traded emails back and forth a few times since. He created "FREK" decals for that bike. Unfortunately it was stolen a few months ago.

The difference is that he's a lot more hardcore when it comes to riding. He's done PBP and a lot of 300-1000k brevets.
