Does anyone know what this is? (framebuilder) A reverse GIS only produces the tumblr that this exact image came from, and on there it's just an uncommented link to directly to the image.
(And, no, I can not make out the lettering on the downtube, nor do I recognize it)

I bought new Ultegra 6800 for the rig I'm building, cranks, brakes and all. The DA is sexy as hell, but a plebeian like myself has a hard time justifying the cost for the marginal gains over the Ultegra.
Also that crank is hawt.

I havent bothered to check their social media but MASH has a cinelli cockpit and a set of their black record pista cranks sent to an engraving craftsman. I've seen the finished cockpit in person and it's equally drool-worthy.

Good to know about 105. I have a lot of experience with both Dura Ace and Ultegra, and the Red, Force and Rival offerings of Sram.
I plan on purchasing one of the used 2016 Venge Elites that were loaned to the cat 1's on my team this year and racing on it for 2017 and beyond. I'll swap out the wheels, bars and stem, but I'm thinking that the 105 will be good enough for me to not bother switching.

It was a whole lot cheaper and faster as the second hand market demanded premium for mint replacements and DA stuff usually gets well-ridden by 1st owners.
With that move not only were the annoying side routing shifter cables gone but the 105 shifters shifted better than the 7800 levers ever did.
If you're going to race with 105, you might find yourself desiring more as far as performance goes. I think ultegra is the sweet spot for the budget conscious sportive rider.

Those hats do a good job protecting your face, ears, and neck from the sun during a long hot day roping cattle out on the prairie.
Not sure why you'd need one sitting behind a mixing panel while sipping a Pellegrino. I guess even hillbillies can be slaves to fashion.

In 1949 they understood that taping upright bars all the way to the stem was the correct technique.

Malvern Star. I'd never heard of this Australian bike company before. Founded in 1902, they are sorta Australia's Schwinn.
Check out this modded up 1970 cruiser. Even if it's not your style, there's no arguing the attention to detail.
A lugged beach cruiser? Wild.

That looks like it should have polished box-section rims. Otherwise, it's perfect.
