bamboo frame with hemp lugs, real bullhorn handlebars, and wood rims.

I like the saddle on some other bike.

How's your magnesium frame project going?

Interesting that you should ask.

I had it powder coated this gorgeous prizmatic "city lights"

Waiting on the Chris King Headset and it's done.

Everything else is assembled for the most part.

So far, with some beater Bontrager wheels and kevlar lined puncture resistant tires it weighs in at 21lbs~.

I love king headsets.

21lbs seems a little heavy for a 2 1/2 lb 17'' frame. Didn't you use all '07 XTR components and a rigid fork? You gonna get a nice wheel set or bash around on those?

Post pics of that bitch when it's done
