I'm just honored to live in the same city. If I ever see you riding that thing around, I'll scold you for submitting it to the harsh desert sunshine.
Bee-yootiful.

I saw this thread last night but I waited till this morning to fully enjoy them.
But 59 photos only? You remember I requested 100 at least right?
Stunning bike. While the one piece stem/bar combo is great, what takes the cake for me is the seatstay bridge. So clean, minimal but classic rather than modern.
Ride that one daily, ride that one hard.

I don't mean to be a nitpicker (it is undeniably a f$%&ing gorgeous bike), but I noticed that the spokes on the front hub are lace heads in. Doesn't a heads out radial lacing put less stress on the shoulders of the spokes?

Stunning bike! I like the way that the bar/stem and seatpost lug nicely echo each other. Polished stainless script and panel borders? Super cool. Inspirational and humbling at the same time.

Brent! Thanks for your help w/ the cogs and switching out the hubs for the SLRs. For the record, my cogs are one dull silver back and one is copper backed. With the chain on, you'd need a magnifying glass and a penlight to see the cog back. Damn near invisible and certainly no worries to me. One thing on the hubs though...What's with the ugly a$$ orange bearing seals???? Anychance of some black ones?

UNBELIEVABLE. I thought his site showed most of his "good" work.
Lugged carbon post, Vanilla bridge, raised chrome lettering, one piece bar. THAT is a showpiece.

Call me gauche, but how much (ballpark) would a frame like that cost?
