Thanks for the kind words and critics. The paint job was a pain in the butt. Especially the black line. I don't have steady hands like those pros that use thin brushes. Masking tapes and spray paints all the way.
To address some of the critics. Saddle and seat post position are based on my fit done by my LBS. A big supporter on short crank length (165mm, my inseam is 30in) and more forward position.
RD cabling is based on my exp in cx racing. I had a shorter cabling before. When it got dirty especially on the cable stop, the shifting got harder due to dirt getting into the housing and smaller curve radius. Sometimes it didn't respond to my shifting inputs. With a more generous curve, it has been performing better. If you google cx bikes, e.g. Jeremy Powers' bike, you'll see that this setup is very common in cx racing.
The tires are kenda kwest commuter. They aren't cotton side walls. They colored it. I have a separate set of tubular wheels for racing only.
