What frame is it?
K2 MOD6 (its their top of the line frame. Stll no where near Cervelo, Kuota...)
When will it be finished?
As soon as the front deraillure with clamp on comes in. I have the braze on but that doesn't work.
Flower on the table?
My partner bought it a shop already painted. And it was used in a show room for a while then made it to my house.
I will post when its done.
Thanks,

That is the slickest $200 frameset I have ever seen. Your bike is going to look really amazing! The combo of carbon SRAM bits, the ITM bars, red tape (my personal favorite) and white housing and saddle gives your bike a super nice euro look. I look forward to seeing it completed.

almost finished. missing front deraillure thus the dangling black cable. And it also needs a brake pad for the front. Just a bit more but you get the idea. seat height ajusted rear brake already adjusted. Oh I decided to get the white $30.00 bottle cage. I think it'll be pretty on this bike.
The angle of the shot makes the geometry of the bike look bit funny.

Nice result, Cat
Very slick...
Is that your final seat position? It looks a tad low in the pic...
But wow... what a statement. You should be right proud...
