It's been a minute since building a hot-blooded road bike, so it's only fair that it looks like this after waiting so long. I am very truly so pleased and in awe of this bike.
Where do you begin with a build like this? I mean even the bottle cages are worthy of their own post! Oh, those are @alpitude_components by the way, spare me the DMs (jk, y'all are great).
And obviously, while I've got you here, I'd like to direct your attention to the full. Beast. cockpit. Everything Beast, everything made in Dresden, by hand, one step at a time. Let me go ahead and answer everyone's question, "yes, it really is THAT good".
Oh dang! I didn't even mention this frame! It's beautiful. Think about it, Fara has to take tradition, religion, and modern technology, and find a balance between them to make a functional frame that has the lines of a exotic sports car without making it look like a spaceship. I couldn't even type out that sentence without getting sweaty palms!
Okay. I'm tired. I'm all wound up about this bike, it was a long week, and making photos like this is a challenge for me. Y'all, have a great weekend, do rad stuff, and stay warm, it's cold af out there. Enjoy the gallery:
