Game over
In the quest for the best bike porn this one wins hands-down... how could you hope to do better? The frame is perfect (it's even large... maybe a 60 or 62?), the paint is perfect, the component spec is perfect... damn.

The valves aren't even close to being centered on the tire logos, not to mention the tires are mismatched and the rear is a Schwalbe? PINK PHILS and deep dish rims on a Nagasawa? Effing criminal! It looks fast, but it's quite a little frankenstein.

If the owner ever got tired of it, s/he could make some serious bank on the bay and buy a couple excellent customs..

To each their own, as always.

Pretty insane if s/he owns both of those bikes...
My ebay suggestion was merely going along with the thoughts of most posters in this thread, that the bike is surely not up the aesthetic standards and s/he should "try again"! I was essentially kidding when I talked about the tires and hubs; I'd ride the sh*t out of that thing.

I prefer the blue version for the wheels and bullhorns. Either way, great bike.
