Bling!

Pretty freakin' nice for a first.

By the way, by saying, "my first singlespeed" implies you plan a second. Just sayin'.

Anyway, noice. Way.

Lord have mercy! That HA looks super steep.

I likey.

 

[MRisme]

Definitely loving the color scheme, reminds me of the old racing Porsches.

Of course - both of my first two MTBs (that were planned to last me a long, long time) never made it past 1.5 years. My wife is not thrilled with my replacement plan but my LBS doesn't complain too much.

That's awesome. The frame is pretty cool. The headtube looks like the new Ritchey p-29er, I like.

 

[nardusg]

Well done Beautiful...

 

[BunnV]

Parts pick- Excellent
Color mix- Sweet

 

[ebineezer]

i like the color scheme...bling factor as well!

 

[gord962]

I ordered some orange Straitline brake levers as well but when they were delivered I could see there was no way they would have ever worked for my brakes, even though it said Formula Oro on the packaging. Sadly, they were returned

 

[ppfeifer]

Nicely done. :thumbsup:

 

[rydbyk]

Nice work! Orange is the fastest color these days.

 

[TroutBum]

Nice work! Orange is the fastest color these days.

So fast that it appears to have taken a head on... that frame style always makes me think it comes pre-crashed from the factory.

Dig the color scheme.

 

[voodoochild]

Good looking ride.

Go get it dirty...
