oh man, this is awesome.... it's up there with that bunk-bed-framed bike that was posted on FGG a month ago. the small rear seat/chain stays and rear wheel make for an almost cartoonish time trial bike. Good work!

I put a few of these pics in the New paintjob thread. I figured I would post a few in the photos section.
I had my custom Italian track frame painted. Looks plain in regular light. In sunlight, its crazy..
Tomorrow. New Bars, stem, tires?
