F-K-R

We had this spec frame built up by Curtis Inglis and just got it back from Russ @ AirArt. I originally was going to do a bright red but Russ talked me in to the maroon color and I think it looks fantastic. We are going be be building it up with some vintage-themed parts and will try to post some "in progress" pictures. This is going to be a very cool bike!

Ti Route 29 resplendent in bamboo!

This has been a fun bike to do. We have been working with the new owner for awhile now and have picked out everything on the bike. He wanted to do a Ti Route 29 but wanted to paint it with the classic bamboo paint. I have always thought that one of the best things about titanium was the lack of the "need" to finish it. You can always go back and brush/polish it to a like new finish. Slap on some new decals and your 5 year old bike looks factory fresh. I guess the problem can be that damn near every Ti bike looks like the next one. I don't think that will be a problem with this bike. I really like the way Russ left a little bit of unpainted Ti in the sliding drop outs. Anyway, this one will be crossing the ocean in the next day or two and I hope to be able to post pictures of the build and maybe even a couple of action shots. And oh yeah, how cool are those bamboo painted Ti Goat Horn handlebars!!
