It was an exercise in bad taste when half finished. I figured as I followed through with more white and more gunsmoke two things could happen.
A) a clear colour theme would emerge making the bike look more tasteful.
B) it would become more and more tastless.
It kinda looked to be edging toward (B), untill I recieved the grey/white ceramic coated crank arms, which push it fully into (B) :)
It looks totally screwed but for some reason I love it (like a disfigured puppy). The Hope mini pro X2's I'm picking up over Xmas should finish it off nicely. Massively excited.
I had hoped to enter the 2010 Birkebeiner with it. But that event is now fully booked, so 2011 maybe.
Its a hard course for a singlespeed, but definitely doable. I'm more concerned about tackling some of the decents fully rigid.
