Yeah it's aluminum and yeah it slopes the wrong way

velocity boy Giant

Yeah I think you're right David didn't notice at first.

i just saw one not 5mins ago on the way home round mornington crecent blond lady on it, scruffy messenger lady. was going to stop and talk but dint.
i love the decals and the bike but yeah just imagine the tube sloping the other way!!1 now were talking

lpg dedacciai, that's the name, i've got that tubing on my bareknuckle, and yeh, it's extremely stiff.

Dedacciai (also known as Deda) is the brand name of an Italian tubing/component manufacturer. The Lavarro is aluminium (Deda's Force tubing), Bareknuckles are steel (Deda's COM 12.5 oversize double-butted Cro-Moly tubing).

The Lavarro should be even stiffer and transmit even more bumps from the road than yer Bareknuckle.

I have to say I do have a soft spot for the Rapha/Condor branded version of this. Its one of the very few modern frames that I actually like the look of (thought a lot depends on the build components).

Decals look sweet. Especailly the deatils on the forks and nr the dropouts.

Yeah the decals are great... I think its good that people try and do more interesting things with graphics on bikes. While the traditional look is great it gets a bit boring after a while.

i agree totally, i like the graphics

maybe i should do something a little adventurous on my next build, its giving me ideas!

don't go carving the seat tube

Frame looks lovely but I would only ever ride steel on the street. At the track though, that is another matter.

puts down his dremmal
hhahaha

i meant decals, i'm thinking gold and blocks or such

whittle pretty patterns into the forks

actually come to mention it i am planning on doing some fancy hand engraving on some stems, bars, seat posts etc, being the creative sort and all, i'll post some pics when i do, because i do see to say i am going to make just about everything know to man
