sweeeeeeeeettt!!!!!!!!!!!

Its awesome seeing that go from a ms paint drawing to an awesome looking bike.
enjoy.

Very nice build. I dig the colors.

Thanks, it was a frustrating waiting for it since it was about 8 weeks late.

i don't get jealous of many bikes, but yours SO makes the list.

So, what was the quoted time from order to delivery including the 8 weeks late time?

Just curious as to how long do they quote you for custom builds.

Gorgeous; I love the paint scheme.

Brent was going to rush it to me and the original goal was mid-january so even with the delay it was 17 weeks. Included in that is Thanksgiving, Christmas, New years, North American Handmade bike show, Valley of the sun stage race(He hosted a p/1 team he sponsors). Plenty of things to slow down a one man show but still excessive.

But a far cry from 5-6 years for a vanilla or sachs

Awesome looking bike.
Your seat to bar drop looks pretty big. What is it?

I liked the blacked out SRM - nice unique touch. Very sharp bike.

SWEET bike. Don't sweat the delay it came out awesome. Rad's on year 3 waiting for a frame that only needed paint.

How are those TRP brakes? I've been looking at getting a set.

5" to the bar top and 10" to the drops.

Goodness gracious. That's a showstopper if I've ever seen one.

Damn that is nice.. What size bike is that?

I like the look, and I'm sure you are flexible enough to do it.
I'm about 3.75. (and I'm old and brittle). :(
I guess the optimum total drop would be proportional to height, and arm length?
That is a hot bike. Congrats on the build.

Veeerry nice!

Are those TRP 720s?
Great brake set at a great price.
(Superior in every respect to my Record Skeletons).

That from the folks that build a sub-20 lb racing tandem . . . Nice!
Whenever we get a cusom build, we mentally add on an extra few weeks to delivery 'just in case'.

Very nice. I like the colors. The drop looks quite extreme.

Is the integrated seat post head just a chopped-off normal post?

Can you get the back bottle out of the cage? The clearance looks pretty tight with the bottle up high like that.

I gotta admit, my ding dong moved a little when I looked at those pictures. Bike looks fantastic!

Fantastic!

Not to threadjack, but hey Voltman, why the hell are Arsenal trying to give it away?! I'm getting very nervous!

Wenger has a flair for the dramatic. I hope.
