Ah. Now things make sense.
Good work Matt. Looks sensational.

I'd love to see more photos tho. Especially of the wiring.

Come to Bespoked, all will be revealed.

I will be there on Saturday and look forward to seeing this a lot.

absolutely bonkers

I dont understand what is going on here?
Is this a top secret Dammit Cannondale replacement build, with conductive paint?..... Did you learn your lesson with the Time Machine thread?
Looks intersting! Would like to find out more deets on saturday!

How many bikes will you have on show this weekend!??!

what what what?! the wiring is the paint?! amazing

two (of many questions)

what happens if you scratch the frame while on a ride?
can you electrocute yourself ?

This is incredible. I am amazed at the circuit board style conductive tracks on the paint. Whose idea was that??

Going to have to come to Bespoked I guess. I want a closer look.

What happens when it rains?1

he rides the time machine (duh)

it all makes sense!

I have been playing with conductive coatings at work recently. It is super tricky to get right. The micron thickness has to be bang on. Would be very interested to get the low down on the specs!

OOOOHHHH the pinstriping question makes sense now. Fuck that's some handiwork.

If you're going to have exposed wiring/solder, I'd suggest blobs of glue to insulate them or something a la helicopter tape.

Matt's queue is about to get very long me feels

That is amazing.

^^ so much that, if the wiring really is part of the frame, my mind's been blown and i will vow to buy a talbot at some point in my life

At first, I thought it was my favourite Talbot on the forum. Then I thought it may be my favourite bike on forum. Then, after a day of looking at it every time the thread is bumped, I'm now thinking that it may be my favourite bike, period.

holy shit that is brilliant
wow

That's defintely going on Prolly.

Guess dammit haw finally made it.

So. Fucking. Good.

This is absolutely incredible

Guess dammit haw finally made it.

Hahahaha must spread

Impressive how, on previous form, a dedicated thread to another likely porn-worthy build has almost as an interjection a top-shelf road bike as if tossed off like an hors d'oeuvre until the main event is ready.

If all this glorious custom bike building is what a midlife crisis looks like, my next one can't come soon enough.

Is this as it will be ridden or after Bespoked when everyone has gawped at the electrical connections, will there be some kind of cover/shield/tape added to protect the cable/frame interface?
