Chapter2 Koko - new road bike

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Chapter2 Koko - new road bike

I received this bike a month or so ago after starting the order well over a year ago. Due to industry shortages I went from just ordering a frameset (C2 Rere) to doing a complete bike. Then, right when the shop had received almost everything C2 released a new frame, the Koko. Luckily for me both the shop (Wrench Science) and Chapter2 were cool enough to let me upgrade. For components I went with Colnago Super Record EPS and Zipp 404 Firecrest wheels.

If you don't know anything about Chapter2, check them out. They make some amazing frames.

Such a beautiful bike. I'm a Chapter 2 fanboy and put together wishful-thinking builds on Wrench Science all the time!

Assume you are going to have that custom framed and hung on a wall inside your house.

BTW...Their teal & green and their purple schemes are also sweeeeeet!

Any updates on how this Koko has turned out? I'm pretty close to pulling the trigger on the TOA myself.

Been looking at their frames for a while now, getting more serious and wanted to see what your experience has been.
