Jobob's Midlife Crisis (bike)

Very nice! I like the etching and the finish. You're right, it's so subtle. I really don't care for huge bike logos. After all, I don't have a car with DODGE written down the side in big block letters.

Sweeeeeeeeeet.

Sweet!!!!!!!!!!

Lynskey is my numero uno "dream" bike. They are so sexy in person. Where is the dang drooling smilie?!

I would spec it out possibly like yours on gearing. You're the engine who cares what someone else thinks, right? Can't wait to hear your first ride report.

Although there sure are enough logos on the stem, fork and headset! I was supposed to get a black sotto voce headset (with very faint logos) but they built it up with the regular Chris King headset instead. It's really no biggie - at least all the logos are color coordinated black & white.

Very beautiful. There's something about the bar end shifters that make bars look so clean and sleek. You look so happy in the pictures.

It says, "made in Tennessee...built to go ????" Can't quite make it out.

Too bad he blew all his money on Campy and had to then skimp on the gears on that lovely Steelman.

A seven fixie? What's the world coming to?

Yeah, I had my LUNA logo done in a slightly lighter shade than my frame...it's cool...ghostlike.

Margo also picked a stem for me with minimal logoism in mind. It took me forever to get the ugly logos off my Velocity Aerohead rims...but I did it.

Nice.
I like the etched logos. Very stealth.

My thoughts exactly.

I'm in agreement there too. In fact that's an understatement.

Nice stealth climber there, Jobob

It's beautiful, Jobob!

**sgtiger** · 03-19-2009, 01:21 PM

Woweeeee! Your bike is a beauty, jobob. I wish you many happy miles with it.

BTW, you wouldn't happen to have a sister who's a nurse in the Seattle area, would you? You have a strong resemblance to a woman with whom I took a yoga class. I swear she has your identical smile.

**Trekhawk** · 03-19-2009, 02:41 PM

It is beautiful Jo!
I love that you made your work mate's eyes bug out.
