GOOD NEWS/BAD NEWS (contains New Bike Porn)
The Good News:
FedEx delivered this to me last night
It's a custom built Carl Strong steel road bike w/ S&S couplers, an EDGE 2.0 carbon fork, DT Swiss Mon Chassarel 1450 wheels, and full Shimano Ultegra gruppo.
The Bad News:
It's snowing in NYC now! I won't get to ride this for at least a couple of days! I'm goin' nuts here!

Can't ride for a couple of days????
Get a good coat of polish on the frame and be ready for when you can.
And get more detailed pics of it so we can drool more.

It's Friday! What's wrong with a spur-of-the-moment weekend road trip?

I thought the intent of the couplers was to make it easier to travel to someplace where it is not snowing...

Nice bike.
have you got a photo studio? Is that some sort of stand replacing the left crank that is holding the bike up? or is it a promo picture from the vendor?
Also, a steel frame with a carbon fork is kind of novel. Haven't seen many of those, I don't think.

That's not bad news. Bad news would have been "But the frame got bent during shipping" or "It weighs 45 pounds."
Congrats.
Congrats.

Hi Bob,
As pretty as it is, I wouldn't ride it until the roads are perfectly dry and the temperature is about 70°F.
Enjoy it!

Steel.
Steel is good.
Like the Orange color as well. That's almost that color I refer to as "70s Orange".

What a sweet looking Bike. Very nice choice in frame builders and in that gorgeous "Hugger Orange" frame color. Enjoy the ride and if the weather keeps you inside ship it here, as said earlier. NW Florida is warm and sunny.

Some months back I watched his 3-part video on how he makes frames. It's really a good video; well editing and instructive. After watching the video it definitely made me appreciate his attention to detail on each frame he makes.
