If everyone got one of these at 16, nobody would drive. Smart, sassy, and classy. Love it!

Uncut

Submitted by FastRicky on 11/15/2006.

That's a great bike you got there. It's too bad about the fender stays, especially since you got the fenders nearly concentric with the wheel axles (not always easy to do). Trim the stays off and you'll have a real beauty (and be safer). Or else decorate them with some streamers or something. Everything else about it is righteous!

Is that bell from Velo Orange?

No - it's the same model of bell that V-O sells, but I got it at Jitensha Studio in Berkeley. Velo-Orange doesn't have the copper color, only the brass (Jitensha didn't have the copper color anymore the last time I was there, either).

I am using a threadless spacer mount for the bell from Velo Orange, however.

Stunning!

Submitted by nklatt on 09/28/2006.

What's the story with those fenders? Are they just off-the-shelf that you painted? Or did someone roll them for you?

The fenders

Submitted by zugsterbags on 09/28/2006.

The fenders are included with the frameset!

In fact, each frameset includes the matching fenders (and struts and strut-to-fender mounting hardware, although you need to get M5 bolts for attaching them to the frame yourself), a headset preinstalled, and a seatpost.

Sweet!

Submitted by mattface on 09/26/2006.

I've been lusting after one of these, and that's pretty close to how I would build mine as well. Can't wait to see the custom rack!

Thanks! Most of the credit

Submitted by zugsterbags on 09/24/2006.

Thanks!

Most of the credit really must go to Matthew et. al., who designed this thing. I just hung parts on it :)
