Pretty much what I would of said. Looks great and elegant now, a lot of green anodized stuff would ruin it.

That silver/grey hint on the bars is going to work really nicely to tie in the Dura-Ace components.


I noticed that, but I'm not convinced. I think that the white paint is too thin so the black is coming through making it look grey. I've emailed Rob about it to be certain as I was hoping the bars and frame would be an exact match.

Build is with full DA9000 + EE Brakes. Have an AX-Lightness Leaf plus with white leather on the back section. Hoping the build will be around 7kg, but not really bothered if it's a bit heavier.

This is a stunning build and welcome to the English Family. I love owning a piece of his amazing talent as I am sure you do as well.

Rob had already sent the bars back for paint by the time I'd emailed him about them. Now that's service!

Looking great. I also liked how it looked in in bare metal & carbon

Wow, just wow! I mean, seriously, that is a beautiful work of ART! I don't know how you guys that own these incredible bikes can ride them, I'd be so paranoid about them getting scratched or even just dirty.

Anyway, I love the color combo, big fan of green and it's so tastefully applied around the frame, instant classic!

Masterpiece!
Bar-stem combo needs a white repaint IMO.

Yup, be done as we speak. Rob said he wanted to get pictures out to me first as he did say I'd have them today.

All finished and the frame/fork/bars are waiting for me at my dad's place in Arizona. Flying over in a week to build it up. Still need to buy bottle cages/ chain, bar tape, and cassette but everything else is sitting in a nice pile waiting for transport. :)

This, I believe, is Rob English's masterpiece.
