dunno where you're shopping but steel nittos are generally around $150, so i'm pretty cool with paying $50 more for a locally built custom chromed stem with the exact drop i want (73 deg - which it's difficult to find anything close to in steel).

plus, this bike is being built up as all american or worker owned/small business as possible.

Here are some phone camera pics of my Alma Pura. It was red now gone black.


The wheel is not completely on due to this take 70 x 20 tires. These are 700x 25

Very tight sprint bike.

S/F,
CEYA!

chrome's on the way back baby !!!!! p.s this is a very hot fu.ck off bike .

i was waiting to see this.......****in bling.

i want one of those haah

Sorry, bike shop employee here, so I think in cost prices.

Also, the most ridiculous conversion goes to the Cervelo up there. "Aero" seatpost and a Brooks saddle. Big what the **** factor there!

Oh hell yes, Providence Rhode Island, represent!

What was the turnaround time, and also what is their current price frame/fork?

Sweet banana ride!

the turnaround time on this ended up being way longer than typical - about a year - but i think i general chris's wait is 6-7 months

im such a trend setter :p

looks good!

it really needs some cottered cranks

lol

What diameter are those bars?

A chromed steel Nitto Jaguar costs what, $150? $175? For the choice between 2 angles and 4 lengths? To me, the extra $25-50 to get any length or any angle you could possibly want seems like a steal, especially when you factor in the whole supporting small, domestic business thing.

EDIT: I should've read further and seen that Evanyc already made this point. Oops.

Me too!

That Ken Evans looks great - do you know if there is any connection between Ken Evans and Rossin? The two builders' bikes look really similar. Kiyo apprenticed with Rossin, and the logo is a tribute to his teacher, so I'm wondering if it's a similar thing with Ken Evans?

the ken evans frame and fork is tits!

Here is my ghetto SS.

What kind of can is that? What did it run you?

All idiocy aside, though, that bike is sex. Very nice.

Did you photoshop the sparkles to give it a more bling effect? in any case, nice bike.

back of a car?

Nice setup! Although, from expirience I would thake the freewheel cassette off and replace it with a single speed freewheel. It whont cost more then $15 bucks. Another thing, you can grind off those protrusions on the brakes, witch heald the suicide levers, and it will make it look much much cleaner. Happy riding!
