Vandeyk x Rapha Continential bike --- It's beautiful
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'm doing it wrong.

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