I was tempted to go with a dark metallic green, but couldn't shake the idea that green == gardening equipment.

I’m a fan of using car colorway as inspiration! I resprayed my Moots Championship White (Honda Type-R).

I would like to know more about this bike, its a stunning piece of art, perfect symmetry. Do you Know the builder, or a link to it, thanks in advance.

Some bikes just look right, and this is one of them, thanks for posting.

End of April - too early to call. I feel like Clean39 has a couple up his sleeve.

That seatpost shim is something else - it either needs to be cut or I'll luck out and find a 30.9 post that'll fit this 30.6 hole.

One more pic of Paul doing Paul things:



I really want to try one of his alloy frames - he loves working with the material and is probably one of the last builders in the US still doing it.

I did not know that thanks!
Now that I looked I like what I see in his 7005...maybe a future frame

That is gorgeous!!

Minor hack / tip - this frame was built with Sachs ÜOS tubes, so the BB shell has cable guides instead of being drilled for a plastic thread-on unit. The drawback to Sachs' design is that metal cables ruin the paint. I ended up finding some 2.4mm heatshrink and fitting it to the cables to reduce the potential for paint damage. Seems to work like a charm.
