Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Here's another picture with the background of the Singapore 'skyline'

The specs are:
Frame: SOUL Titanium Destiny
Seatpost: SOUL Mastery Titanium
Groupset: Sram Red BB30.
Wheels: SOUL C6.0T

Thank you for the complements. Still can't bring myself to stripping her down for another frame.

Antmeeks, I personally like the rings he has on it currently. It flows with the bike and I think the black would divide the colors he has. I say it is Hot as is. i also prefer the current seat post that he has vs the black PS one.

Totally get what you're saying...

I just think the anodized black would nicely compliment the matte black fork.

Perhaps a nice compromise would just be for him to degrease the ones he's got. They look nasty, lol

I gotta say the Tommasini is very, very appealing.

Soulbike also pretty hot, I actually like the look from the full on side shot better since it seems to show more accurate overall coloring.

I'd vote nay on the black chainring as well. I think the fork works well with the wheels... Dem wheels!

The current rings fit the scheme better. The Red Exogram cranks would really set it off though. Add a KMC DLC chain too.

That "spaceship" on top has got a lovely swimming pool with infinity edge too. The Marina Bay Sands.
