I enjoy the fact that there is a hollowgram crankset on that bike.

That's a weird looking bike, but in a good way. Go fast enough those stripes could cause a seizure.

That's part of his race strategy:

1) Go fast
2) Cause opponents to have seizures
3) Profit.

I wasn't aware it came in anything other than BB30. I got the crank off ebay, partly because at the time it was the only BB30 crank that was compatible with a Stages PM.

Had a set of those for a season or so. They were great. The only downer was that the rear hub sounded like a lawn mower. No sneaking up on anyone with them.

Impressions: They are super loud. Louder than my old Campy Centaur hubs, louder than the Novatec hubs on my tubulars. Yes, like a lawn mower.
Stiff and light for such a tall rim. And yeah, I'm not crazy about the decals. I was hoping they were just peel off, but there seems to be a clearcoat, and if I decided to sell them down the road I might as well keep them on.

Williams has a decal set that you can put over them that basically makes the logo gloss black on the matte black rim. Seemed a bit over the top, but they're out there.

I just changed one of those freehub bodies. They're super loud because they're stout! lots of pawls and lots of ratchets!
