Nah, not mine... it belongs to Kimberly who works at Cyclefit. It has taken almost two years to build the bike and was only finished a few days ago. We suspect she's going to make a few changes straight away, that bar tape doesn't quite match, and neither do the flashes of orange on the underside of the saddle.
The frame is a custom full titanium. The paint is obviously custsom. She's gone for the same spoke pattern and Sapim CX-Ray spokes as I have. She's riding tubs. It's all bling really.
And I've been working. Far far too much. Last month I billed for 31 days working averaging 11.5 hours per day. Some days it's been as much as 16 or 17 hours a day. I am exhausted and it's taken a while to recover. The work was a really important piece for a new sector... so it had to go well, and that meant we were killin ourselves for it... the post-mortem of the contract has already happened and it wasn't pretty. Anyhow, we've delivered now, the client is ecstatic with what they have, and so myself and my colleagues can start to pick up our lives again now.
And it's on Macklin St near Covent Garden.
