Columbus Spirit and Ultegra SL

May 15th, 2008 David

This custom road bicycle has a Columbus Spirit steel frame and an Ultegra SL build. The crank in the pictures is a loaner as the Ultegra cranks are back ordered. The gray SL crank will match the paint job a lot better! The paint is a metallic maroon fading to a metallic charcoal that has been matched to the Ultegra SL ice gray.

Beautiful Paint

April 24th, 2008 David

Alana’s singlespeed 29er frame has one of the nicest paint jobs to come out of here for a while. Alana gets all the credit however, as it is her design. The letters and design are masked in rich, wet paint - the paint job is stunning when you look at it up close. The frame is True Temper OX Platinum, disc specific, with an eccentric bottom bracket. The build includes a Pace carbon fiber rigid fork, Hayes brakes, Shimano XTR crank and handbuilt wheels using XTR hubs.
