My custom frame and paint job.....

[steve50]

Brilliant, I think it is just fantastic.

yup, me too, it's going to be a real head turner.

I'm sorry Betty, but this time you have Gone Too Far, that is quite hideous . Beautiful workmanship though, I bet it cost an arm and a leg, in which case mercifully you might not be able to ride it very far.

I love things which polarise opinions. There's no need to apologise.....
It was quite expensive, as was the whole project, but, it'll probably be the last bike I'll ever buy....until the next one.

amazing paintjob and those sven frames are something else. Well in!

 

[ColinJ]

yup, me too, it's going to be a real head turner.

And almost 30% of those heads will be turning to face the bike ...

Each to her/his own!

It makes me think of lots of those cotton thread thingies for sewing. I quite like it though i can see why some wouldn't.

Could you not decide on a colour?

Could you not decide on a colour?

Why just one?

 

[steve50]

Why indeed, that bike is going to be unique, there won't be another like it, but it will be a bit like marmite for some people,

 

[Saluki]

I rather like that
Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
