Modifications/Other/Extras:
grasshopper stickers maybe ? The bike was made by colossi the way I want it. The only mods I did was putting columbus tusk fork for it
What is your favorite part about the bike?:
The colours, triple triangle-pursuit geometry, the shape of the chainstays.
Describe your bike setup and how you like your bike to feel:
I want this bike to be rigid, hence the triple-triangle, so it will shorten the rear triangle tubes therefore it flexes less.
Why did you build this style of bike?
With the pursuit style, I chose it after I had my lo-pro, crashed it and sold it (and marked the price up, LOL). I loved that bike so I thought why not get a custom made.
How does it feel in your hands?:
fancy hahaha, stiff and light (frame is just over a kilogram), with the right set-up, with the current set-up, its under 7kg, its not crazy light, but I’m happy.
I finally got a chance to get out River city rollers on the weekend just past.
I had a race myself and its quite the experience 26 odd seconds of spinning your guts out really takes it out of you.
Thanks goes to Erik and Bjorn Rust for putting it all together.
