My new bike build

[gummibear]

A few weeks ago i had to sell my bike to raise cash fast to pay a few bills.I was sad at having to do so but fortunately things have worked out and i could replace it.

I bought a used frame and ordered the parts from Chain Reaction Cycles and Kiwi.

Sometimes I think bike companies should let the public design their paint schemes.

 

 

 

Did he mask around the geometry sticker on the down tube?

[gummibear]

Stunning setup!  I love the white accents and the frame is full of detail!  Great job.  You know what to do.  Keep 'em coming!

[gummibear]

Thanks guys .

Nice bike and a really great paintjob, but i cant help but ask why did you rebrand the model of the frame and fork to a higher spec?

 

The frame is clearly an alu SL01, yet you have re-sprayed it as an 09 carbon SLT01. Same goes for the fork, which was an Easton EC70, and has now been rebranded as a EC90?

 

Im not knocking it, the bike will look great, but why not keep the model numbers / names the same, and just use the colour scheme of the better model?

 

Also if / when you ever sell it, how would you describe the bike? Obvioulsy the full carbon EC90 fork and the SLT01 frame are worth a lot more, so it could cause a problem?

Very nice.  You must send us a pic as soon as it is build and for the more technical guys you must give us the weight?  Again very nice.

What did the wheels set you back?

I played arround in Photoshop before i decided on what i wanted.

The paint scheme with the SL 01  logo's didn't look right to me so that's why i decided to just copy as it is.

 

I wont be selling this frame as i will ride it till it breaks or i buy the real deal.
