No decals...they're all hand painted by local graffiti guys.

I can understand that, they're pretty absurd but I think they get a bad rap for being trendy/heavy/whatever but I think they ride great they still make me laugh when I look at them.

Oh man, it kinda screams tarck but that geekhouse is reaching out to me in a tangible way... but I definitely don't think I could pull it off.

Is there any point to that Caselli? All the effort of making those crazy lugs and it looks like it would twist in half in a good sprint...

The real point of a triple triangle is the same at Hetchins funny looking stays. Back in the early days of racing, logo's weren't allowed on bikes being used competitively. If however your bikes look completely unique, even without logos, well it's free advertising.
