Spotted this on my way in to work this morning, was quite taken with it's paint job and the swoopy seat tube, oh and the shiny Gios fork!

Had a quick chat with the owner, as I was curious as to what the frame was. Turns out it's custom made by her boyfriend, as a hobby, looks to be really good work! In fact, I've asked if she could see if he might be interested in building a frame for me... fingers crossed ๐Ÿ™‚

I like the front wheel but the rest is horrid.

Ideal commuter ie. built out of spare bits.

Are you serious about getting a frame built?

yep, defo borrowed from a Zaskar and a little from a Lo Pro I think. Looks kind of cool (to me anyhow, we all know my tastes in bikes are a little... odd ๐Ÿ˜‰ )

maybe... depends if he gets back to me and waht the cost is...

It would have been a lot more interesting if you'd included the owner ๐Ÿ˜‰

It looks to me like the cranks are way too far forward compared to the saddle position, and it also looks like it'd suffer quite a bit from toe-overlap. Both of those look like they're down to the curvy seat-tube.

Still, quite impressed at someone why can make a frame from scratch themselves.

needs a smaller wheel on the front for the fully whacked commuter and to stop you wheelying off from every set of lights
