Outside shots of the Volare
 

FInally got it outside today to get a few shots but the best thing was the ride I took before. This bike rides so nice and its quick it seems to be a faster bike either that or it just makes me want to go fast. http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...3/100_1421.jpg http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/b...3/100_1423.jpg

Wow! It's really looking good! Just looking at it complete makes me want to kick myself for letting it go! I'm glad you like it.

Kelly I will always think good things about you for putting me together with this bike. I really have bonded with it like no other bike I have and I have less than 50 miles on it. I think since I changed out the fork it has really found its personality. Not twitchy but quick and it rides so smooth its unreal I would think a bike with that tight of geometry and those 23's would be harsh but not this guy he's smmmoooootthhthhh. I really like the look of the elkhide and the Brooks with the green Carradice bag.

Naw, just be glad it wound up in a good home :) .

OH FOREVERMORE. Its a gas for sure

Thank you stringbreaker for the outdoor pics. You just sealed the deal for me on the Elkhide bar covering. I just ordered some from VO to match my honey B17 for my Nishiki Seral touring bike build.

Awesome bike stringbreaker, looks terrific!

Sweet ride!
I can't wait to get my trek built up and test it out... AHH THE NEWLY BUILT BIKE SMELL!!!

Very classy looking. The bar hide really matches the look of the Brooks well.
Is that the red fork painted gray?
Didn't catch it on the previous thread if so.

WNG: That's a different fork the red one didn't have enough rake and besides making the bike pretty twitchy I was hitting the toes of my shoes on the tires when I would turn, not good so KPUG came up with a different fork and it works much better not a whole lot more rake but enough to keep me from banging my toes and the bike is calmed down a lot.
