Supacaz Black and Silver Stargaze tape.

PS: Have an appointment with the bank manager Monday (LOL)

Wiring this was a nightmare. Had to ditch the campy method and improvise a little as getting the wiring through the bars proved impossible.

The workstation got uncharacteristically messy!

 

[Furbz]

And finally a few more in progress pics

the gunk campy put on there chains out the box is next level nasty

[Jewbacca]

I hope the angle of those hoods is going to flatten out a bit before you put on the black tape.....

[Furbz]

And finally the finished product!

its amazing how as a build progresses you start to realise just how incredible the finished bike is going to turn out.

the pictures say it all. this is one hell of a head turner!

i set them a touch high for as my father is taking the bike on its maiden ride tomorrow - i will be at a kids birthday party.

i value my fathers thoughts on bikes - he is a multiple RSA champ and World champ in XC and i know he'll be honest about how it rides.

the hope is this feels as good as his Mason Resolution - the pinnacle of an astounding ride when all out speed is not a factor.

Stop it!!! 

My heart....

Of all that is holy.

Will throw a R20 quick pick at the powerball, maybe I give you  a call on Monday.

hahaha that's awesome.

I'm just giving you stick because I'm jealous. That frame is my dream.

The chewing gum twang of the Ti should hit the sweetspot in exactly what you're looking for with the responsive, freight train wheels.

It's so sick.

(I'm eyeing out that Chewbacca frame in the classifieds too... you're just dangling temptation everywhere!)

Black tape Furbz.....otherwise very nice

I’ll be controversial and critical of what is an almost perfect bike

at this level and pricing it could do with a piece of art badge on the headtube 

needs a brown saddle or black bar tape 

but this is just nitpicking a gorgeous bike

A closer look, it’s an indented subtle design.

Understated, gentlemanly and highly distinguished.

So in an epic fail we arrived for said kids party a day early. Oops

I never got to take this stunner out!

I'll throw some critique your way that you will have to address. Your back tire is fitted backwards.
