Maybe retrogression could do a LoPro or Alien V1 rendition next? I would get rid of my kilo for an alien v1. i know brake holes and bottle bosses are "useful" but if i wanted that i'd just buy another road bike. i hated the alien v1 when it came out but my tastes have matured.
otherwise it's money in the shoebox to go to frame building school so i can build something similar.

It might be at some point. Considering we've sold quite a few of them, I'm really surprised no pics have turned up.
I still need to finish building one up for myself.

If you are still down for the 725 trade...maybe I should do it... But I still don't have a wheelset, seat, or good fork for it... TOO ADDICTED TO BIKES!

Finally! Very classy! That build/ frame captures the timeless picture of a bicycle very well.
It's a shame it doesn't have fender mounts and/ or larger tire clearance to fit full fenders. But I suppose that would've made it more expensive. I guess you can't have everything. =/

very nice looking frame. I don't care for chrome forks on white builds or upward sloping TTs, but I almost didn't notice with the your build, so well done.
if that decal was larger it could match nicely. Is there no toe overlap with that fork?
lookin' good
