More Info:
Got tired of the red/white/black nu-metal paint. The dudes at YNOT (ynotcycle.com) / Gallant (gallantbicycles.com) in Toronto hooked it up with the paint job. Couldn't be happier with how it came out. Last photo is how it looked when it arrived at my door. 15lbs 11oz with clips, Ellipse and Alpina.

This is pure sex. The colour and the Teschner fork, oh my days!

Personally, I would remove the stickers from the Ellipses. But that's a matter of preference, I guess.
