Vandeyk x Rapha Continential bike --- It's beautiful

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

I don't know much[anything] about this bike builder, but it appears to be a one off custom frame that will not be available for sale...too bad

I gotta say, it doesn't look all that special to me.

E.g. Jamis has offered steel bikes with a similar look for years... albeit without the dramatic lighting. Possibly a little nicer, since it has the classic curved fork.

Jamis makes very good steel bikes. I have the Aurora (2009 vintage) and it has been a solid bike for me.

I think disk brakes on a road frame just make it ugly as sin.

The Jamis is a great bike - but no disc brakes
