NICE! I LOVE bikes inspired by art/artists/paintings. I remember seeing the la vie claire look mondrian bikes in person and falling in love with cycling at that moment. For the first time, I realized that in cycling, there is an incredibly symbiotic connection between art/style/fashion and sport.
I can't wait to see more!
cheers.

Thanks for the welcome and the comments! I started this build back in July 11 but had been thinking about for way longer. As it would be custom geometry I decided to got to a bike fitter - it was worth the couple of hundred $.
The builder was also kind enough to send over some 'work in progress' photos:

A proper fitting is *always* worth the extra £ / $ - especially if he advises against a massive drop that's not sustainable!
Pretty dam nice
Whoa. The detailed brush strokes are amazing. This is truly one-of-a-kind.
