Ling getting used to her new bike on the Kinetic trainer at Elite Custom.
This bike was finished in January. I thought. Then I discovered a….. technical issue. Fixed it in February, but then I dithered with delays, and only when I returned from USA in June was the frame repainted. Then another month waiting for some small shim bits to arrive. But then just last week, my guys at Elite Custom Pte. Ltd. Singapore built up the frame with a fresh load of Ultegra and now we’re ready.
Ling needs bottom-up training. First gear shifting, then getting used to the road, and eventually I’ll try to wean her off those hideous platform pedals
The frame is fillet-brazed Columbus Nivacrom in classic geometry and classic tubing: 1″, 1-1/8′, 1-1/8″. Frame painted by Sulaiman at The Rebound Centre, according to Ling’s exact specifications (so don’t blame him if you don’t like Polka Dots!)
Classic Nivacrom Steel with a handmade Aero Twist…
