Personally, I do like it better without the labeling on the wheels.
I also agree with a poster above, however, that the stem is obtrusive, it would look better in black IMO.

I think the frame and fork has a lot of potential.
You get extra personal points for being into railroads.

The water bottle is only half-full in the second photo.

You guys don't see the obvious? That's a David Kirk frame. It's well known that David Kirk is Captain Kirk's nephew, and he had his uncle fire the bike at warp 7 through a wormhole. It came out the other side sans the yellow seatpost tape and wheel lettering, thereby saving 0.0002 grams, reducing aero drag by a factor of X cubed (where X = nothing) and increasing his overall average speed by an incredibly miniscule amount not even worth mentioning.
Now here's the tricky part. The "after" photo was actually taken 3 days prior to the "before" photo. The effects of time travel at warp speed through a wormhole and all.
Well worth the BF post, IMHO.
