wooooa...eazzzy
noestaencasa, I actually like your first selection. Simplicity wins on pg. 1 IMO 4 sure. Seeing a lot of fancy lugged bikes, makes me want something like that... simple and crisp...
also a good paint job goes a long way toward appreciating a well-used bike. Why is my DB pista frame so ****tily painted (easily scratched)? May have to go the autobody shop route.
anyways speaking of crisp lines/paint jobs...do most indy builders do their own paint? do you?

I find it absolutely hilarious that Mr. Walker trys to enforce rules for his pic threads. 
Maybe he should post a list of rules at the beginning of the thread so people will follow them.
Oh wait, he tried that before. lol
It didnt work. lmao

I like the Roland Della Santa frame in the first post.
The simplicity and restrained contrasts appeal to me.

As Cynikal points out, there's always a few buttheads that want to hijack the thread with their own fave pics and then call me names when I ask them not to hijack the thread.
Ahhh, the fun of being anonymous on the internet. It keeps one from getting served a "life's lesson" in real life....

The forum doesn't work the way you'd like it to, Don, and it never will. We go offtopic all the time, that's just the way it is.
Read BF and post pics on your own blog. Then we'll steal your pics and start a thread here with them and then you can read that and... oh no, that's not gonna work, either
Edit: it's hilarious how tiger's posts are only present in quotes. Reading this gave me a total CSI impression.
