Bike Forums - Hot r Not

I thought I posted this bike in the thread but did a quick search and didn't see it. If it is a repeat I apologize. This came up in a BD thread thought it'd be fun to show what you can do with a BD bike. Note the cranks. :)

Very nicely done! You have a very nice bike. Thanks for sharing. BTW, there is nothing wrong with BD bikes.

Very hot! But, isnt saddle a bit low (or rather, bar a bit high?).

The bike is for his Wife. Most women don't like to position themselves as low as men. Give her time to build a racing position if that is the way she chooses to go.

Holy crap you actually had your spokes powder coated red?

So bizzare to do that to a set of Aksiums but props for following through

Yes i did and let me tell you IT SUCKED! The powder was acatone based and "brushed on" then baked at 325 for 5 min.I chose P/C because it is felxable and very hard to chip.it will get me by till i get the SL's..

When I got home I thought the frame was a bit too large for her, but she seemed comfortable on it, and rode 2k miles her first year which I thought was pretty good. We did some tweaks but are going to get a pro fit done next month. Hopefully they will be able to dial it in better. I just hope he doesn't recommend a smaller frame!

If she´s happy thats way to do it!:thumb: As stated; hot bike!
