OK. I would like to bring this sh^t to Moscow and ride with you. Maybe we can catch the politicians on their motorcycles.

I built this thing, then experimented. I drilled the original fork that came with the frame (dumb idea) for a brake and tried that for a while with mixed results. I finally decided not to ride it on the street any more and took the brake off. Looking back I should've never destroyed the fork that came with the frame but should've purchased another fork entirely. A lesson I learned the hard way. I also tried various handlebars but the Alpinas are in my opinion the best for this frame. These are the narrowest ones. I think they measure 36cm making them the narrowest available. That makes for an aerodynamic position. They're also very strong and well made. The saddle is something I love about this bike. It's a Selle Italia SLR Carbon/Kalloy in bright yellow and I've never seen another like it. It was not cheap but I wanted a yellow one! The saddle's comfortable, light and of course bright! I purchased an Alpina carbon track fork for it and it works great. Previously I tried a Warp 99. It had great workmanship and quality but there was an issue with the length of it that I never could accept. It's been shelved.

I 've got the "regular" one and I love it. It is one of the best frames ever; so smooth and comfortable yet stiff.

I must say that I'm happy with it. It's very strong and lightweight. Are you considering one?

The paint is very pretty - metallic. The words "Affinity" and "Kissena" are gold leaf.
I wish the tires matched better.

Thanks Rico. This bar is very strong and narrow for aerodynamics. It is not a surprise that you would like it!
