Wow. Is that sake in the front bottle? And how much do "you" have to clench your ass to stay on a seat at that angle?

That's not just a drunken spree paint job. It looks like the owner took time and effort. Hilarious.

It appears they really liked the saddle bag and wanted a bike to match.

I don't know if it counts as a mid-life crisis or not but I literally just bought one of these today (mine's blue but I couldn't find a good picture). This is the best way to get around here.

At least get the saddle to match. Tasteless! Well unless your helmet is the same color

Love the intentional(?) misspelling of the various decals, Bob. I think that front bottle is a large urine sample for those that say "You must be on drugs to ride that thing." Now I need to go put some eye drops in, seems to have gotten to several of us. You should have put a warning about needing tinted glasses before opening the thread.

The saddle is a bit of a weak link. The problem is you can anodize/paint metals but saddles are much harder to customize. I think black would be a better way to go (or even red).

First thing I did when I saw that picture was to check the posting date. I thought it was going to be 1 April.
Love the angle of that saddle. Real comfy looking bike.
And while I have always regretted being slightly red/green color deficient I now wish I was absolutely color blind.

I am surprised that nobody has mentioned that amazingly stunning, tastefully coordinated, high-vis green kick-stand.

What the heck?! Fizik makes a saddle that shade of green! Go big or go home.

I was in but the mismatched skewers kill it for me.
Clearly you're still looking for the right saddle so I'll let that slip.
