Awesome bike!
What are these bars?[/QUOTE]
Might be 'Cinelli Palm'

It's got a Cinelli sticker on it (removable for ultra-stealth), and it's all in black including the sticker. You know hipsters are suckers for an all-black bike with under-stated or no labels right?

Pretty-boy boyfriend decides to get in on the fixed scene (because that's the next thing in fashion). Busts out £12.50 to build a fixie because the rest he spent on hair products, muscle supplements and man purses. He manages to get hold of some bicycle shape parts from the five year old across the road and decides to put it together himself as he is too cheap to pay someone who does it for a living to do properly. In the process of sticking the bike together with blue tack he decides to wrap the frame in leopard skin texture to match his shoes. Because he is well into photography (ofcourse) he decides to take photos of his killer fixie with his girlfriend on top who will ride anything because she has low self esteem.
i hope i don't come across negative

Definitely African, only in Africa you can find leopards.

belongs in anti though
** EDIT - Jaguars (Panthera onca) occur in South America, Leopards (Panthera pardus) occur primarily in africa (see map). Other species also carry the "leopard" name such as the Clouded Loeopard (2 species in South East Asia) and the Snow Leopard (in the Himalayas).

Once distributed across eastern and southern Asia and Africa, from Siberia to South Africa, the leopard's range of distribution has decreased radically because of hunting and loss of habitat. It is now chiefly found in sub-Saharan Africa; there are also fragmented populations in Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka, Indochina, Malaysia, and China.
From the wiki link.But, if you like, I'll find you a paper detailing their distribution across asia once I've finished [ahem]working [ahem].
EDIT (rather than prolonging the discussion...). The main reference on Leopard (Panthera pardus) distributions is Nowell and Jackson 1996, however sadly that is a book so I can't post it here. The next best thing however is the IUCN redlist database which compiles all the most up to date data on species distributions. This shows fragmented populations across much of South East Asia.
The chap in your photo is the a lovely Snow Leopard (Panthera uncia) which mostly occurs in the Himalayas. I'm currently lucky to be studying for a PhD in Felid conservation and so in 10 days will be flying to Malaysia for a month to look for Clouded Leopards and may be lucky enough to get involved with a Snow Leopard project at some point in the next 3 years as well! :)

If I get £1,700 spare, ever, I'm buying a new Nagasawa frame.
