I haven't weighed it yet. As most know, it's not exactly a light bike to begin with so I am not too worried. I am guessing it might add 50-100 grams or so. I will have to weigh it and report back.

So flawless job that the spacers under the stem pass without be perceptible by 'police aero fit'.
Congrats for the art! Very creative.
Giro Empire reclective to matching with this beauty!

Very cool! Too bad they're not black/grey in normal light. I believe you can actually get glass microballoons/spheres? to mix with pain to allow it to reflect light like that. We were going to use it in an IR motion tracking system back in university...

I love that pre-reflective stickers the feedback was too many spacers/ fits not right etc etc #boreoff
Now with the additions it's getting praise

- we're a fickle bunch

PS - I think it looks great

Just using scissors, and some sheets of 3M vinyl with an adhesive backing.


Awesome! It would be great on aerohelmets too :thumbup:
Ride it like you stole it

You mean you would rather see one color in normal light and then have it reflect at night? This is possible as well.

The glass spheres do work as well, but it does leaves a rough texture to paint surface which I don't personally like.

you can get reflective vinyl in any color, so he could choose to use reflective black, grey etc. And they are great to add on things like helmets. POC does that with the logo on the helmets.

Absolutely tremendous!

I especially love the design around the bottom bracket area and the down tube being a little less busy.

I think it looks even better partially completed like that, just various accents.

Nailed. Needs nothing else.

Been thinking about the wheels, but to get a good POV image, you're going to need big spoke count.

It'll be really nice on the wheels too.. Might distract the drivers too much.

This should make the perfect commuter..
