Nice!

White bar tape/saddle and silver components...mostly?

pathdoc 01-29-08 10:00 AM

Yes, all my bikes have white pedals(Looke Keos) and white bar tape.

BMonei 01-29-08 10:09 AM

Silver or Ti King headset?

pathdoc 01-29-08 10:09 AM

I think its Silver not Ti.

Did DW finally come up with some decent looking frame stickers? Hope so...cause that's all he was missing IMO.
That last pic shows the seat tube sticker and it seems better. Instead of something gotten from a sign shop.

hazylines 01-29-08 02:43 PM

He still has the plain style down tube sticker. The new little ones are sweet though.

gargiulo.mike 01-29-08 02:48 PM

don walkers text sucks
cool frame nonetheless

sp00ki 01-29-08 04:07 PM

it reminds me of a cowboy boot.

deathhare 01-29-08 04:12 PM

He's definitely a cowboy. :)

I mentioned something about his decals in a thread once. He went after me like I had taken a swing at his wife.

And yeah, I agree. Great frames, horrible logos. I'd probably debadge mine if I got one, and I'm sure he wouldn't like that either.
