Nope it was Mike (also a speedskater). He's the brother who restored the farmhouse that the gallery lives in now.

Sweet!

And must be very clean, for you to set it on that cream-colored couch!

A thought: no idea what kind of bike you ride now, but if you like this one better than your current, you could transfer all the components to the LG frame. Might have to buy a few new things. But much cheaper.

Unless you are happy with your current setup, then I wouldn't touch it.

Well, I think I want to keep my Pilot as-is for commuting and long rides. This one was born to race. I'm not sure what I'll put on it yet... depends on what I find and what my budget turns out to be.

Or you could just sit next to it on the couch and whisper sweet nothings into its steerer tube.

Love that!

Beautiful frame - congrats! What components do you want to put on it?

[Reesha]

I'm not sure yet, but probably full ultegra. I think my lust over the Ultegra Di2 is just a little over the top-- and still out of my price range. I have Ultegra and 105 on my current bike and it's been pretty fantastic for me over the last five years.

I like the red. A set of red/black wheels would really complement this bike. Congrats to your new family addition!

What a wonderful uncle! Congrats on the frame. I know "to each his own," but I like the red.

I'm not against red, but when I started thinking about buying myself a new frame I knew I wanted a black/white one so I could change up the colors all the time. now I feel kinda locked into red.

But seriously, I'm very happy with it. It's going to kickarse!
