Martini Single Speed

Thanks for the compliment. :)

It rides great, very smooth compared to my regular road bike.
Thing is though, that it rides better the faster you go, which perhaps it a typical thing for a time trial frame, but when riding in town and cycling as slow as regular people, then it tends to be nervous. However if you stand on the pedals and ramp up the speed everything sort of falls into place and it's heaven: all you hear are the wheels whispering in the wind.

Standard this frame looks pretty crappy if you ask me. I think it says leader a dozen times in all sizes and shapes. And if there is anything that I don't like, then it's all those brands that need their name on every single part of a bicycle. I like my bikes clean (my geared road bike doesn't have a single letter on it, it's totally black, for example).

Look at this for example:

For me that's the definition of ugliness: not the shape of the bicycle, but the bike would look ten times better if you removed all the stickers, and lettering.

Nice Ferrari bicycle! I've thought about the idea too (I am a big petrolhead), but in the end realised the two (cycling and cars) shouldn't be mixed since their at the opposite ends of the scale.

The handle bar tape, saddle, and toe clip straps are all from Brooks, that's why they match so well: they're all in their 'honey' color.

:) Yeah, 3D Max is what I do for a living.

Thanks for the compliments on the bike; that's exactly the thing I wanted to do, combine modern and classic elements. :)

At the moment I am in the preparation/research stage for a fixed build, so until then this one will definitely stay single speed. Also because the brake levers on the front are an integral part of the design: the seat, toe clips and levers all have honey colored leather, black metal and chromed metal. Basically a triangle of similar looking things.
