Cross Awesome
November 5, 2008 by Austin
(Happiness is overflowing.)
Most of the time, the thing that really sets a Sweetpea apart from other bikes is something you can’t actually see. Its the design – buried deep in millimeters and angles. Alone those numbers don’t mean much, but when you pair it with the person it is intended for, then the bike really sings.
This bike on the other hand comes with its own soundtrack.
Intended to do double duty at both the Cross Crusade and as a winter training bike, this beauty shows off the team colors, but really demonstrates what you can do with pure stoke, a manifesto, and some vector art.
Seen here with Chris King headset, bottom bracket, and hubs (yeah!), Shimano Ultegra SL, and Velocity Fusion wheels.
Created with Admarket’s flickrSLiDR.
Holy hotness. I feel better already. Are those fender mounts? Gorgeous–like everything you build Ms. N.
I just put B17s on all my bikes. I’m thirty-six now and it was the Right Thing to Do. Love to you, Austin, Greta and the chickens.
The soundtrack needs some work, but the bike is stunning.
