Nice bike!

So, did you pick the paint scheme before or after seeing Rock Racing's design?

Thanks.

I ordered this frame 3.5 months ago. I picked the color before the designs were ever made public.

Nice lookin' ride. Nice seatpost. Nice weight. You either are flexible as hell or have the arms of a chimp - seriously slammed in the front. Is this your everyday ride? I don't think my back/neck would last 10 minutes on that drop.

I ordered it from USA Imports. They are SOMEC's North American Dealer. The custom frame cost me $1900 Euro.

Yes. I will be training on this bike 2-3 hours every day starting next month. It's a very comfortable position for me.

It's a San Selle Flite Saddle. It's really comfortable. The leather is very nice quality too. My riding buddies all want one now.
