Pantograph extravaganza

I saw this over on the Paceline forum and was floored. Not only is Somec still kicking, but they actually still do custom pantographing! Check out this Athena. Due credit to user @DWIller on that forum.

Sometimes the frame is loud enough to speak for itself. I think maybe this is one of those. Ymmv. Does look like quality work though.

I...don't like it. I can appreciate the workmanship and all, but is too much.
