Custom painted CR1 - 5,14Kg

[FelixOr]

Hi folks,

let me present you my "new old" ride. After lots of hours in my cellar, sanding and repainting my Cr1 frame, I received the last parts today and finished the build-up.
I cannot describe how happy I am with the way everything turned. It's amazing to look at something that required such a big effort when it's finally done. Also, I wasn't even sure if I could finish it at all, but I'm more than satisfied with the result.
The bike is even lighter than before, although i expected the paint to add enough weight after the sanding-process, to make it much heavier.

Congrats - it seems likethe evolution of this bike has been happening for a while, but it looks like things may have approached their finale(for the moment), and I'm really glad you've got the bike to a stage where you're really happy with it. It's brilliant, and with all the work you've put into it, I hope you enjoy it. It's a great bike...To be honest, your making me jealous, to be able to put so much time and effort nto building and setting up your bike - it's not just a kit bike where the excel spreadsheet is the biggest extent of the work...its amazing


now all we have to do is put together a group sale for SRM's again

[Hi|ikus]

That ride is ridiculously pimp!

Bravo Sir!

Dude, where are you?

I like the paint job, think it look very good. Better than we imagined. I think the mechs look a little odd though. They would either look better it is was carried through onto the brakes and the ergos, or if they were still stock.

That said, I know it is very difficult to make a decent judgement just from the pictures here, and you need to see it in person.

Hey Felix
That bike looks so good and to me this is the nicest CR1 a have see in my live.
But I am happy for you that everything turned out so well after all the work you have done.

grtz jeroen

very beautiful, good effort!

[col hicks]

like i said on fwb , i love it

[TriRig]

That is just SICK. Wow.

[FelixOr]

Thanks guys, i'm glad you like it. The paintjob polarizes pretty much, and some members of other forums dislike it.

@Kuiper: The naked frame was 857 grams, the naked fork was 274. The weight of the frame with original paint was 915grams, of the fork 280grams.

@Skillgannon: Couldnt have said it better! Thanks buddy

@Rich: I think you may see it in person pretty soon



Thanks again for all the nice comments.
