I should've done this at the time but meh.
Here it is now.
Just so you know, I'm a fixie poser who doesn't race.
I've coveted all the usual bikes for a while and resigned myself to not being able to afford ALL of them so I asked my pal Trevor http://www.autumnframeworks.com to build be a frame.
I wanted to reference the geo of the Cannondale Track (crossed wires meant that ended up becoming the CAAD 10 Track).
I wanted a triple triangle because GTs are rad.
I fancied a wishbone because #datass.
I wanted to see smooth filet brazing but also some lugged elements.
I knew I wanted to have a visible CK headset 'cause like I already said, I'm a poser.
I'm quite a heavy lad so I didn't want to get a mega high end superlight steel so I opted for Zona.
Same story as every other... started as a pile of pipes and became a bike.
Here's a few pics.
