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

I like those orange accents.

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!

They haven't even put the quote up yet.

KinetikBiker 08-18-07 07:14 PM

I saw most of the Kink complete bikes line today at this shop...

They all look great and have that 'custom' feel.

FitRider 921 08-18-07 09:03 PM

Pff. The real ****** and weight weenie way to do it is to run no spacers and slam your stem!

If I have time and patience, I might actually do that. I might be trading my stock Fit stem for an Elementary today if I can just get a stripped bolt out and get a new one. I didn't want to cut my steerer tube at all until I got the stem I wanted.

EDIT: Bolt is out now, just need to get a new one.

I bet you're headset spacers aren't carbon fiber.

Deconstruction 08-19-07 11:10 PM

nope I use only one and its 5mm aluminum. I'm never too worried about weight.

wethepeople 08-19-07 11:37 PM

Actually, my Carbon spacers are slightly heavier :p.

FitRider 921 08-19-07 11:41 PM

Sick bike. It would look even better with black bars and a black front rim.

wethepeople 08-19-07 11:51 PM

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.

fuzzbox 08-19-07 11:58 PM

Nice lefty brake.

wethepeople 08-20-07 12:01 AM

Going for surgery on the Radiocarpal in the next month or so.
