You weren't kidding when you said orange in all caps; that is certainly loud and eye catching :D

Wait until you guys see this thing complete. The photos do no justice to the paint. The orange is pearlescent and the English logo has been hand-painted in a slightly lighter orange. The bike absolutely glimmers in sunlight. The rebuild is happening now. I'll share photos once I have it complete... in sunshine.

Well lets see it then.
I think it will look great with the right components.

It's at the shop being built up for me. Hopefully I'll have it back in a few days.

Normally I would rebuild it myself. But there are some special custom touches being handled with the internal battery, wiring, and controller that are beyond my ability.

Between the painter and the shop, someone misplaced the hardware to mount my saddle. So it's not quite ready to ride yet. Almost...

Any suggestions for bottle cages? I've been using ti King Cages for years. But they just don't go with this build. I'm thinking just some cheap black alloy cages. Nothing fancy.

Incredible build. Love the reverse steerer clamp or whatever it's called. Beautiful.
