Oh jesus. I totally fell out of love with it. Horrible build, the wheels are filthy. I'm shocked how you could take something so nice and make it look so bad.

But it's not just the components. Why the hell have a curly seat tube if the wheel clearance is such you could have a straight tube? I know Hetchins had a lot of clearance too but the wheel would have been touching if the tube was straight. That was the point of having the curve. Shame. Just someone that went "I want it all! Give me hetchins lugs, hellenic frame, curly stay, curved seat tube." Then didn't even ride the f*cker. Tosser.

is that major Tyler stem on that bike? maybe phillipe.
anyway, you are quite right and I doubt this bike is something new owner is going to ride, its rather somthing you hang on the wall and admire ... well at least till you throw up because it is too 'perfect' ...
