The wiring could call less attention to itself, and the steerer could use a trim. Other than that, I'm a big fan of how purposeful it looks - he knew what he wanted out of it, in terms of utility, and this bike unabashedly fulfills that need.

White stuff doesn't do it justice. Saddlebag got to go. Not hot.

I think white handlebar tape would look awesome on this bike!

i like the overall concept but your silver to black ratio is off. the back stem and levers dont play well with the silver stem and crankset. you dont need to go all black or all silver but a change is needed.

i would like to see it with a silver stem, black saddle, carbon bottle cages, and black bar tape.

I completely agree with you, some people need to take a course on aesthetics ;P

i love how the black and blue splits at the "F". one of the better two wheeled billboards ive seen.

im also a fan of the curved seat stays and rear facing dropouts. i will have mine in campy with a more basic paint job.

Definitely one of the "better" rolling billboards. Here's a shot of that detail.

thirdgenbird 09-17-11 11:52 AM

i thought it was black paint. that is even better

Now, I am off to ride her.

Thanks man, now I'm depressed.

White, Celeste and a pinch of Red. Just wow.

I see more "dirt" than white.

That bike is a testament to why white saddles and white bar tape is only a good idea in theory.

Not hot.
