RH+o emperor

So I was looking on the rh+o site ( I still really want that green mini vela/MIT), and I saw this new bike called the emperor. Frankly I think the frame looks amazing, what do you say?

I wish it was easier to get their stuff in the USA.

i will say i dig the lugs, and for a cheap frame that one looks pretty nice.

but yeah, components are total crap from the looks of it and i'm not even sure a nicer headset and cockpit would fix the 'low quality' look of it.

Yeah the components look wanky, I think I just like the lugs, and the actual gold color is nicer, or at least more unique than a lot of the gold colored bikes out there.
