That's a really beauty! So is that a SS rear end?

wow. That is very close to perfect. I think that is almost exactly what I want my next bike to look like.

Well done sir....well done.

BTW, I think a white stem would look great. But that is just me.

I'm not the first but I also want to bring up the Elephant in the room so to speak and tell you how nice it is. Post some pictures and a ride report when it's built up!

All of these white bikes are really sharp and I have to admit that I never thought of white for anything except major appliances. That is, until a few months ago when I decided to have one of my bikes repainted. After looking at all kinds of colors and combos in every online gallery I could find, I decided my bike will be a bright pearl white, with red contrasts and some black and Ti grey touches. I hope this place is still here when I get mine back so I can post some pictures!

I had pretty much convinced myself that the new one wasn't going to be white. Now I'm confused again...

Here's the old one:
