I agree, that's the first 727 I've actually not been repulsed with. Nice!

Your cog is slipping.
Got this back from the paint shop last week but believe it or not, I've been more concerned with riding it than taking pictures.
I snapped a couple of quick ones with my phone on today's ride:
Metallic silver > murdered-out.

Your cog is slipping.
Those Deda Lowriders are actually meant to be angled down just a bit due to the way the tops and bends are flattened at an angle (you can kinds see it in the pic). If you rode with them, you'd definitely see why. When they're level, it puts your wrists in a weird, unnatural position when riding on the tops.
Also, I tried running them level for a bit and climbing when out of the saddle is much better with them tipped forward.

I've got a nice black & chrome headbadge (like the ones on the V2) but I think that's all she'll get.
