Even though this is a cost no object thread, while I think a Parlee Z0 would be pretty awesome, I couldn't rationalize the extra cost over a Crumpton.

I think that other than a possible gravel bike, I may not be getting any more frames until I hit a milestone birthday in 5 years at which point I will get something crazy. Of course, I partly say that to jinx myself so something really great will pop up out there.

There are tons of other bikes I think would be great to have, but one can only have so many bikes and my taste in "nice" bikes has gotten really expensive.
Send me s message if you’re serious about getting a new Nagasawa road frame.

Is it really still a Master if they do that?

I have no suggestions for improvements, but I think you definitely nailed it as far as lust-worthy bikes go.

I always want new bikes but i dont really lust for a particular brand or type anymore. I guess this is progress in some way as when i think about it there has usually been this or that brand that i have been wanting for my next bike. Now its more like i know when i see it or order it

This would be a fashion faux pas. My new Porsche is white.

Mine's already in my apartment. Built this cost no object based on what I wanted and the white hubbed Bontrager wheels I already have.. This may get some Mavic CCUs or Bontrager Tubulars at some point, but I wouldn't change a thing

Cool bike, you should check out Caden wheels, I'm pretty impressed with my set of Caden light weight DecadenCe tubulars .....
