I think you either love it or don't. It doesn't do anything for me. Steel ISP bike with polished modern parts. However I am sure some of yall will love it and has the vanilla thing which is also a either you love it or don't care for it.

But cool that they are doing a batch, they will sell them all but its a bit just like the rapha headphones thing.

Also the crank and shifters look great polished and so do the brakes. The RD not as good but no ones fault.

The more I see the more I like.

Anyone want to buy my SV, my moots, my track bike and my vintage brodie? Only way I'll be able to afford one.

Oh my.

Is that chrome paint or polished aluminum?

The pantographing is off the charts. Laser?

Just stunning.

There also looks like a hole for a rear rim brake?!



Maybe both?!

Good Luck!

Surely that's an alignment thing for the spacing of the dropouts or a heatsink rather than a TA? Why would a frame builder fit a TA while brazing? These are rim brake frames.

That’s true! The original Instagram photo showed a nice polished and engraved front rim brake:



Good Luck!

Fillet brazed with a polished and engraved DA9100 and other bits.

Some pre release photos were shared with a private FB group for current owners and were asked not to posted before tomorrow. Thats the reason for the edits.

And yes I am getting one
Ryun,

I may need to sell the orange SV. It’s a beautiful bike.

I believe that's the rear! Just no cassette on the hub.

Oh man I get it.
The orange one is from the Sacha/desalvo era and so nice. I have told you in the past I wouldn’t upgrade if I were you but this one is the one I would move the orange on for.


I don’t believe pricing has been released but based on the look book
For a “normal” speedvagen plus custom, the one off bits and brazing time I’m sure it’s going to get up there

Oh my god. Is it a bad idea to drop out of school and just put all of my tuition towards this thing? Looks dope.

I think it was five years ago when the last batch of lugged Vanilla road left the workshop. Everyone got pretty much the same frame but with their custom geo and paint scheme.

Is Sacha on the torch for the 44? If so that would mean at least 12 months wait for some, since Vanilla output was typically 40-50 units a year (albeit all custom incarnations of whatever genre the buyer was looking for)

My bet is $14-15 since blinged-SV is $12-14 and that polish and panto is labour intense.
