But also very ugly imo. It is like a car crash, i can’t look away.
Big fan of the wooden rear rack though.
The brake levers are also kinda neat with the half internal cable routing, but look really unergonomic. Silver or golden cable housing would have looked better though.
but the oversized down tube really destroys the delicate mixte lines for me.
not the biggest fan of that crank too. a middleburn would have looked better on this or a stronglight 104 drillium one.
not sure an upwards facing rear dropout is a good idea.
not sure about the front wheel spoke pattern either. Does it use the hub to take up the torsional load of the full side of spokes against the other side?
The framebag is nicely color matched, but not really angled or shaped to the mixte frame. It is okay but also a bit of a missed opportunity on a custom made bag.
i don’t really understand the bars either. you use a riser stem which is kinda more ugly than a straight -7° one. But then you have a dropper bar to get rid of the raise again. whats the point? at least it looks a bit better with the limp dick stem in the last pic.

But this bike will definitely turn some heads!
