Nice dogs, I love the mean mugging look that dogs give when they're chillin and you bust out a camera.
The welds look really smooth. These pics make me want one. Is that chipped paint on the fork?

Or just let it go. It's a freaking awesome bike and a little paint chip doesn't take away from that.
Bound to happen sooner or later anyway and it gives the bike some flavor/character/_______
Then again, we are on BF. Some people just wouldn't feel right unless that chip was addressed.

Haha no worries.
And for the finished product.
I thought this WAS the finished product! I was just going to stick it up on a wall in my room!
/endsarcasm

better to get that chip (since it's not a bad one) right out the gate. that way you've taken out that first discovery of the time you leaned your bike up against something the wrong way. scratching these puppies is unavoidable

That is one sexy build. I wouldn't expect any less. I will say this though, much like the Cinelli Mash offering I think the sloping TT is ridiculous on a street bike and kind of ugly. I was sad to see them go in this direction as much as I was to see Cinelli do it. I hope the 2012 takes a different approach.
