After putting in a bunch of miles on our Sprint Prototype I finally decided it was time to build myself one. I had one painted in sky blue metallic and I am really happy with how it turned out. The metallic flake is very understated but when the sun hits it, it really shines! I decided on black components to offset the light hue of the frame and I think the contrast really works, and it helps the gum wall tires pop. I have been commuting on it a few days now and I am super stoked with it. I went with some larger than average tires because of the number of horrible roads on my commute and the stiff frame and larger tires really work well to give an efficient buy comfortable ride. To fit the larger tires I used the standard brake hole fork, but had it plugged before it was painted. Well here is the components breakdown.

Bike Porn, Design, Fixed Gear, Limited Edition, New Product, Photography, prototype, Superb Frames, Superb Project X, Track Bikes As promised we just opened up the pre-order on the Superb Vivace Framesets. We made a few tweaks to the prototype and are ready to start production after a short pre-order period. We decided to go with a higher end tubeset in the form of Italian Columbus Zona, but kept the retail price under $1000. All pre-orders get an introductory price of $899, with the standard retail price being $999. $300 down secures you a frame in your size and color choice. The frame will be available in 3 different colors, but we are offering a choice of 8 different colors to pre-orders only. Act soon, pre-orders end Feb 25th. Check out more information on the pre-order page, and the mocked up color options below.
