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.

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.

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

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.
