58 ish with a 79 seat height.

For me it would need to be an all or none gambit and done before tomorrow when it goes live.

My guess is that pricing will hit high teens in usd.

I asked about this and was told "no". Mr White clearly will participate but fab of these bikes is the work of the whole Workshop like other current Speedvagen offerings. I do understand they have a newer in-house frame builder.

All the details including price should be released today.

What impressive marketing. 800K of business to "insiders" never need to reach the general public.

Like to estimate how many total miles these 44 bikes will have over the next 10 years.

Way too much form over function. Never got the drift myself on all of this.

This. No innovation here. Almost like a band aid to hide that truth.

My concern would be the epoxy that holds that crank arm together. Usually an oven cleaner of some sort is used to remove the anodizing. That could easily damage the bond. Same with those chainrings.

It's beautiful looking kit. Looking forward to seeing the final product.

The whole scene has drifted into Chihuly territory.

My first thought after seeing this. Wondering how they removed the ano.

Didn't you have similar done with a show bike and Campagnolo? I forget what crank but guessing forged vs bonded?

Both look great and I like seeing creative people doing creative things.

Cheers
