but she's definitely naked.

 

[HippieKai]

please tell me your leaving it naked!
that looks nice.
kai-

 

[jace]

the finish is still up in the air...

 

[HippieKai]

just clear it over.
it would give it more personality than paint

 

[recidivist]

Just think. You gave up all this:

Very sweet frame you've got there. Glad I could do my part...

 

[jace]

Thanks. Wow, Ted looks great! Pretty funny that we've owned 3 of the same frames.

 

[recidivist]

It ain't easy being a bike whore.

What's the third?

 

[jace]

Indy, Endless, Wojcik

 

[MMcG]

Who made that frame?? Is that a Bystickel?

 

[jace]

Who made that frame?? Is that a Bystickel?

yup...

 

[Echo]

Definitely clear coat that... it's a work of art...

 

[jace]

another angle:

the craftsmanship is really staggering, but I think I'm still going to throw some powder on her.

 

[MMcG]

oh man baby Steve does beautiful work!!!! Get her powdercoated by him and pick out a great photo for his custom frame - headbadge!!!

 

[MMcG]

Can you provide the geometry numbers on that bad boy? It looks like you can run one helluva huge tire in the rear of that frame!

 

[jace]

The frame is a tweaked version of a Spooky Darkside - 71.5 HA, 73 SA, 23" TT, 15" ST, 16.25" chainstays, with room, I would estimate, for a 2.6 in the rear. I'll likely never run anything that big - but it's nice to know the option/room is there - especially if I taco a rim 10 miles into a ride...

 

[MMcG]

Very nice! You'll have plenty of mud shedding room back there!

 

[GumbaFish]

Very nice work indeed. I think either a clear coat or a powder coat would look awesome, although the clear coat would be something I've never seen so I think it would be kinda cool. But hey then again you could get a pretty sweet custom paint on it as well. Anyways that is a nice looking frame you have there
