This was the first bike that I have built from the ground up and was part of my framebuilding apprenticeship. I'm not entirely happy with the paint -- it wasn't laid down well by the painter and the black started chipping on the first ride.
However, though, it's an awesome first bike and a blast to ride. The full story about it is here.
