Hopefully I won't get pulled over.

I approve of this nbd.

Finished for now. No test ride yet, as it was 40* and raining when I wrapped up.

I'm going to order a set of dropper pads and use a Sram Red for the rear to have a matching set. Kinda odd set up, the front takes a stretched out short reach (mid reach was too long) and a mid reach rear.

I thought the threadless stem and adapter looked better with the sloped top tub than a quill. A little funky, but I can live with it.

That came out really nice! Congrats!!

I've had this out for two 31 mile rides now. Man, I am smitten! Way too soon to call it my fav, but it's already up there.

At just over 19 lbs, it's a full 5 lbs heavier than my lightest. On the road, it feels spritely and nimble. Out of the saddle, it's well balanced points that zip forward. No hills to test around here, but it corners at speed very well. All while being one of, if not the most comfortable ride I have. Relaxed confidence. Not bad looking either IMO.

Mods, please move this to the Custom Gallery. At the least, it has custom paint. It was hand built for a bike shop with their logo's to be a fendered racer.
