These are all pake frames. Tough as nails. I'm loving mine so far.

[Jand3rson]

Damn, I love the gold DeepV's on that one. So sick. I can't wait to get mine, although now I can't decide what color I want. I think I might to do silver ones now, so the machined part for my front brake won't stick out so much.

[Erik]

Get white ones. I'm going to get white wheels.

[scabzzzz]

Josh,

You dont have to get machined V's to use a brake..
You'll just have some black marks from the brake which you can clean off periodically.

And nice morning fixed pics... :)

[Farbin Kaiber]

This is what I'm going for, but replace the gold with blue.

And,

[Erik]

Needs more carbon fiber.

[Farbin Kaiber]

I'm thinking that and a CF post.

Damn those white ones are so baller.

As for gear ratios, I'm not totally up to speed with them so I have no idea, but those cranks do look pretty sweet too. White wheels would compliment black cranks very nicely. ;)

I'm thinking these, blue bar wrap, black chain, crankset, front brake.

I can't bring myself to a set of Velocitys, YET.

And, I think I'm gonna have my pinstriping/signmaster brother do some silverleaf/pinstriping on the frame.

48/18 is what I ride.
If you're looking to do tricks and stuff, thats what you want to run.

If you like just riding in town, 48/16 or 48/17 will be good. 48/19 will have a really fast cadence.
