The flash would have caused too much glare from the bling.

I like that fork better than the stock cannondale forks. They don't look right to me.

dude's purchasing decisions show pretty clearly that he cares very much what people think about him, imo. that picture has nouveau riche written all over it.

Yea they are. I was drinking some brewskies with the dude last night and hopping strip club to strip club, when dude says, "Yo I got this hyphy **** in my garage. Come check it out." So I was all... ok. We went into that same garage, and I started screaming frantically, because those very same bikes and that crazy-insane car was all up in my grill.

He also has a wax doll of Eddy Merckx.

I've always sort of disliked Mike V, so I kind of hope so, if only because it validates my opinions and experiences with him.

i agree. i always felt like the traditional lugged crown fork just didn't fit with the oversized cannondale tubing.

That's just it. It makes the fork look like a toothpick with that giant conduit bike frame.

haha...in about a month. I've had this frame for a while. But i've just been hiding it in my closet. I put a bunch of random parts on it, and smashed around on the street for about a week. I love this frame. I'm taking it to alpenrose tomorrow to feel it on the track, but after that I'm stripping it, Joe Bell paint, then campy and dura ace (oh man interracial baby) build. It's going to be all my favorite parts...

Sounds like quite a build. Any more pics of the frame for the time being?
