Bishop

I like a lot about it- Not crazy about the use of a rim brake bridge on the seat stays.
Also hate the Thomson stuff. It it had Enve or Zipp bits I would like it better.

Oh, just look past the build. As nice as the paint is, even the color doesn't do it for me. The frame though? That's beautiful!
