alf, this bike is the bomb. very cool, and i would love to ride it, and be seen riding on it. it is simple. great color scheme. very clean lines. obviously put together custom with a lot of thought. i have to say that i don’t get some of the ratings on this site. for example, the bundy is a top rated bike. it’s a nice bike, no doubt, but it is plain, and almost looks like it came from a kit. asking myself, which bike would you rather have, or ride? my answer is yours. i have an open mind and i’m ready to be educated on the finer points of rating these bikes. right now, i’m going on does it look good, was some thought put into its design / assembly. you bike looks good!

Yup… Is that a sock on the seat post?

lOOKING AT THE HIEGHT OF THIS FRAME MAKES MY CRUTCH ACHE.

What are you drinking Alan ? It is affecting your writing.

It looks like a scarf. Those bars look unusable at that angle, and the fact that they’re bare and it’s clipless and brakeless just looks dangerous. I like how the theme played out though.

Ya’ll. It’s a chain with a sleeve wrapped around seatpost. The pedals aren’t clipless, they’re platforms. Who the hell wraps those kind of bars?

Alf, it’s nice to see a super-extra-tall frame, especially a Nishiki. I’m 6’3″ and most bikes don’t fit me right. I also particularly enjoy riding the old-school extra-tall geometry where the headtube ends up feeling mostly vertical.

I probably would have gone with drop bars or bull horns, but that’s personal preference.

no,dog shit’s not as slick.
