Problem with white bikes outside of a studio or glamor shot, is that the tires, components and frame quickly get dirty with black or dark green grime in any sort of less than ideal conditions. Riding them on a track is great, but dusty, dirty, rainy or well used car grease coated, dirt and grime encrusted roads change that sexy white look into a really disgustingly detailed show of filth.

Very trendy parts. I am not feeling it though, esp with the green cranks and hubs. I thought a bareknuckle would look good with really deep rims but now am rethinking that. For the almost $3000 grand the seller wants I would likely build a very different bike (custom frame with less bling components for sure).

Over in the C & V, a guy thinks he was sold a ghost bike.

Tape on the seat post is to mark the location of saddle height, or to check if your seat post is sliding into the seat tube.
As far as "BAD JUJU" having an all white bike? C'mon, we're not in the 15th century anymore!
