Stunning... you've done a fine job with the build. Although, I have to chuckle at the slightly confused identity of this bike: overt stars n' bars paint job, but with an Italian name, not-so-discreet Italian flags, and stylized world champ stripes on the headtube.

Where did you find the shiny Aero's? Or, did you refinish them yourself? Also, when it comes time to replace the rear tire, what if you tried a blue Detonator to complement the front red tire?

The Aeros were a limited run

The Aeros were a limited run from Velocity according to Bike Central (the track shop in Portland.) Funny you mention changing the rear to a blue tire... I have a stack of Maxxis sponsor stuff I just got in and I was thinking of switching out the rear to a blue one, I'll put up a photo when I get around to it. The Aeros are one of those rims that is impossible to get a tire off.
