Wow, is that yours? It's a 10/10 for sure. Love when little bikes have just the right proportions.

Dang that's nice, don't ever recall seeing logos along the seat stays. Is that a BLE? GGM?

And that RL is sweet. Sea foam on a RL is like celeste on a Bianchi to my eyes.

Not mine. But I'm in the que with Paul and mine will be very similar. Likely a carbon fork, but I'm not sold on that yet.

I need this...... is that the AL or steel? Assuming Jimbo, it is steel? I miss shallow alloy hoops.

I do not tend to the appearance of my bikes like so many do. But this bike is absolutely beautiful. The seller priced it right a few weeks ago. Rim brake bike prices are dropping and dropping. They are not coming back. Kudos to seller for realizing this. And fourflys - good for you for buying. I would be afraid to ride the thing!

Fourflys, even though your expectations are high, you will still be just amazed at Dave's level of craft. Mine was still the most beautiful frameset I've ever laid eyes on. I know he's not building and I really hope he's OK, I tried to contact him a couple of times without success.

awesome, I've been tracking the UPS truck for the last few hours.. it's only a mile or so away.. sitting at a UPS store, and it's killing me!!!!

* now they are a few miles further away.. I've been tracking the truck via "UPS My Choice" and I swear they've zig-zagged around my house for the last 4 hrs.. not sure efficiency is on UPS's mind..

Curious for more details on this — I’ve been considering an aluminum Rock Lobster rim brake road frame with a steel fork. Sea foam with white decals — this exactly, just a lot bigger . This is the first one I’ve seen. Looks great!
