Nice. What kind of frame is that? Also what kind of handlebar tape?

. . . though I'm not sure if it's brazed or TIG welded. The tape is HandleBra.

Kelly's new foray into Tig frames and I know who Da Babe is in that photo :) She's pretty good rider I am told :banana:

She is Tig'ed ..

But the work is so good she appears Fillet Brazed.

Nice! I really like that Ford GT40 color scheme too!

Looks nice. It would, however, look much better with a steel cross fork similar to the kind that Brent Steelman produces.

I thought Gulf Racing as well, but you are kidding about the GT40 right?

Steve McQueen and his 917 all the way!

I agree with steelrider, needs a steel fork, and tt cable routing.

Not sure I agree -- especially on small bikes. As it sits

1. better routing overall
2. less cables at the shoulder point.
3. no pulley to crud up for the FD
4. better rd cable line and no water contamination down the seat stay.

Kit looks good.

This carbon fork is better than any steel fork I've seen at cyco races. I would have painted it though.

. . . choice of steel or carbon fork is a personal decision.

I'd go with either the GT40 or the 917. but if it was a 917 it'd have to have the longer "whale tail" spoiler to keep the rear planted during forays over 175 mph.

Knowing how good the lady in the pics is I think she could ride a fork built of bamboo and still kick ass
