This is a project that started as something simple and morphed into a whole different beast. This thing shouldn't be taken too seriously, but came together nicely for an odd-ball franken bike! This bike draws inspiration from vintage pursuit bikes such as the Lasers, Takhions and Textimas. Substantial mods to the frame include ISP, seat-stay supports, aero gussets, custom track ends and custom fork with stem integrated into the crown. The frame+fork is painted in Bentley Continental GT silverlake metallic. The bike features a number of 3D printed parts including: stainless steel stem cap, high detail stainless steel head badge and bottom bracket serial badge, headset/steerer cap, and handle bar end plugs. The carbon disc also has a custom designed & machined aluminium hub body which carries a custom splined stainless steel track cog.

This is so fun to look at. The frame is some sort of sick breed of Cinelli Laser, Yamaguchi aero pursuit and a Hammerhead shark. You had to bring it to the ocean! Love the triangle at the "brake bridge".

I'll tell you right now, that bike will hate you for having put it through ocean salt water.
