47/16

Theme build based on Prince's 1981 Honda 400A from Purple Rain. Frame was custom built at Marinoni. It was a pleasure to work with them and the frame rides beautifully. Paint was done by Mr. Marinoni's wife...

Design: Dylan Adair of Faux Amis in Montreal.

Looks good!

I know it's theme based, however, it must weigh a ton. It's a tall frame + 2 aerospokes + brooks = HEAVY. I would opt for some lighter wheels but everything else looks good. Despite the weight, B17s are by far my favorite saddle, like sittin' on a pillow.

Agreed.

It is pretty heavy, and as it was coming together I knew it would be. The irony is that it's not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I think the main reason is the light weight of the Zona Steel, but also the fact that the frame was custom fitted to me and the gearing is swift. She's like a freight train once she gets moving.

The saddle was like a brick when I took it out of the box, and I was almost ready to resume my search for a San Marco Regal- which was what I had originally wanted for the build. I was VERY surprised at just how comfortable the saddle was once I went out riding. It will be with me for a long time.
