sometimes it’s good to have two to three months to think about something. the paint scheme on this bike evolved gradually into a whole lot of awesome- big thanks to jordan at seven cycles for suggesting the use of gold leaf (!!!). amazing and classic at the same time. a practical machine as well- low mount disc brake for easy rack mounting; fenders; sram force. this one is going to haul while it’s hauling. fun bike. see it in person at the philly bike expo. more shots on flickr. oh yeah, and stainless lugs! funny how when you add a bit of gold to something what was once special can sometimes slip your mind.
