Orange clockwork

My first posting here on FGSS. Just got my orange clockwork and I know there had been inquiries about the orange color. Test ride was in the mountains (2400 ft in 8 mi.) which I usually do on geared bikes. Didn't check actual gear but spec says 46-16. I was only 10 min. slower but doable. I like the bike a lot. The stock seat feels good as far as I'm concerned.

You're not sliding off the seat with it at that angle?

Looks great in that picture, I think I'll be satisfied when I get mine on Tuesday. Check the cog though, people who got The Hour were saying that it shipped with a 15t instead of 16t. Are you going to put a fixed cog on the other side?

Rode it with with a couple of friends on a Ti and a chrome lugged colnago technium today. We were on a rest area with our bikes park together. A couple of cyclists came to look at our bikes and the one that struck them most is the clockwork to my surprise. I talked to them and, it's the paint color. However, I'll trade this bike anytime to a chrome lugged bike or a Ti.

My friend has the orange Clockwork. It's pretty bright, but cool nonetheless.

Is that like other BD models where it's based off another frame, or no?

That bike looks good enough for the ultra-violence. Be careful.
