HF charged us US$90 per frameset for full paint, plus a flat set-up fee of $195 for decals. We placed a multiple frameset order with them so it's possible that the paint fee would have been higher for a one frameset order.

Not related, but I am a car guy.
HongFu was the only one offering this frame at the time (maybe they still are?), I didn't want the typical 66 that everyone else had. I was looking at many frames, but this was the only open mold I considered.

GREAT photos!! ALL of it! Puts a really high tone to an open mold frame
I honestly thought you posted a picture of Mark for a minute, but that just says something doesn't it?
I enjoyed the little literature in the beginning (I had no idea that's how "tissue" came about)
Great stuff!

Skunkworks is no more.
I swapped all my parts over to my old Wilier frameset. Bike is about a pound heavier but works much better, and it doesn't fill up with water I've got something new in the works, but this will be the go to bike in the mean time.

Nothing, I just got fed up with it. The rear end had a lot of flex at the derailleur hanger, so much so that the tightening of the QR would move the rear derailleur over an inch. This would then throw the adjustments out of whack every time you had to remove the rear wheel. I'm still not sure how, but this also messed with the front one. This alone was enough to dump the frame.
In addition to that, it would fill up with so much water after each rain ride that I would have to drop the fork or pull the BB to completely drain it.
