Bike 44

This is my current build that is a Winspace T1050 Aero Carbon Road Frame and Forks. This will be built as a Mercedes Benz Lewis Hamilton tribute bike as I follow F1 and lewis being the driver I follow. Here is what I started with I will be do the full build myself including the paint.

very interesting project. would love to see the bike in flesh when it's finished.

(would like to start a conversion about the driver you support but you probably have heard it all by now)

That green looks great! As does that fork!

Still needs the clearcoat in this picture.

Very nice can't wait to see it built up

F(1)antastic!

Very very nice! the green and the grey blend really well!

But why it's called 44 bikes?

Hamilton's car number. His fave apparently from his old days.

had no idea "F1 paintjobs" was even a thing. i oddly like this bike though

Inspiration maybe?
