2007 Handbuilt by me, under the study of Koichi Yamaguchi

Nitto B123, sakae

Handbuilt, chris king

zipp3000/campy shamal 16 bladed

phil laced to velocity aerohead or an aerospoke or zipp950

Sugino 75 and Shimano

Selle Success Token white carbon racing (uncomfortable) UPDATE: it is now a Selle success Batavus saddle

MKS/MKS with eribi sprints or shimano ultegra clipless and a sram chain

49X17 or 15 depending on the riding being done

I built this frame while I was studying with Koichi Yamaguchi. It is a blast to ride and feels great.
Right now I am riding with the phil/aerohead rear and campy front. it is just great.

just started riding the zipp set at the NE velodrome, its definitely a different feel.

My friend Kierie, with her crazy duct tape helmet cam, just made a video of the race. Check it out...there are a few shots of you with your Yamaguchi hat. The scene where we are riding above traffic next to Grand Central Terminal is pretty sweet. Enjoy.

SO beautiful

Submitted by brianm on 09/26/2007.

Amazing build, my friend! Beautiful proportions, looks ridiculously fast just sitting there! The color scheme is hot and I agree that the gold feather is a really sweet detail!

Thanks Brian, I like it

Submitted by G0balistik on 09/27/2007.

Thanks Brian,
I like it a lot too and its hard to go slow on. It might be getting a fancy paintjob in the future though as now I work with bikes and have a real paint crew around.

This is great. I'm sure it means a lot to you, and must of been a blast to build and even more so ride. Congrats on making a beautiful bike.

With it set up as a disc, only divine beings can save us from its power. Yaya.

Thankyou.

Submitted by G0balistik on 03/05/2007.

It is really fun to ride and it fits so well because it was built for my exact specifications.

Going to Yamaguchi was cool for getting an awesome frameset out of it but I really went so that i can start building frames on my own.

Submitted by DoshKel on 03/07/2007.

Yea man. Thats awesome. I hope you really get into it deep.

I went to UBI with framebuilding in mind, but after I was done with the mechanics courses, I just decided to go home. I really want to go back out there and do their program though. Or Mr. Yamaguchi's, which would be a dream.

Doesn't he have stem building course also? That would be something great.

I'm so gonna buy one of your frames :D!
