My friend said it right. "some sort of hipster mountain bike". I originally was going for a steel frame that was painted white but they were out of them and for who knows how long. I couldn't wait so I settled for the aluminum frame that is painted black. Doesn't look that bad at all, although I think the white would have been sweet.

I'm going to see if I can fall in love with these tires. Low rolling resistance with good knobs for cornering |

I'm going to see if I can't get this thing out on the road. I will try to ride it to the shop tomorrow and see what it's like. Stay tuned, the reports start coming from here on:

Holy shit. It looks incredible so far. An unusual build, with all the white, but I love it!
