The color scheme was devised to lure wannabe hipsters into the store (it's a display bike), and to make use of/display some of the store's stock. The bike was not built up with any real intention of riding, or selling.

Adriano- Something tiny- why didn't you finish your seattube taping job? And is that a painted Cinelli stem?
The wheels are fine, but I'd be terrified to leave home without a spoke wrench :]
Tofu- You'd better be putting white bar tape on that thing!
Pyze-guy- I think its hard not to like any ss mtb.
