Well, she's still just a frame at this point (need to sell several other bikes before I'll let myself build her up -- anyone need a bike?).
She's a custom Sycip Deisel singlespeed. We color-matched Velo Girls pink and added a sparkly overcoat (can't see it in the pics). I'm planning to build her up with a white fork, White Industries silver cranks, pink Chris King hubs and headset, silver rims & spokes, Avid Juicy Carbon disc brakes, and black seat-post, stem and bar (probably Thompson & Easton). I'll add some anodized blue bits to match the logos (crank bolts, QRs, etc).

She'll be gorgeous. I would die on a singlespeed. I hear they make you into an AWESOME hill climber.

Oooooo...I LOVE Sycip frames. It's beautiful. PLEASE post pics when it's built up!!
Do you have your fork already picked out? The Fox F-Series would look mighty nice!

It's between the Fox F or the RocksShox Reba World Cup (which is just soooo pretty with the carbon & all). Decisions, decisions.
