I think your bike looks absolutely perfect including the zebratape. I was only wondering what kind of treatment you used for the frame. Is it just sanded down and finished with a clearcoat? I’ve seen it before on the Alien Performa Bici and I’m realy diggin’ that rough metal look!
I just wanted to explain myself about the seat business.. I think the angle of your seat depends on a number of variables and there is really no correct angle (although some look more clumsy than others). Things such as the dimensions of the cyclist’s body.. length of legs, length of arms… torso. If you notice the difference in height between the handlebars and the seat you may realise that the angle of the crotch of the cyclist will be slightly downwards. If a seat is positioned horizontally, the cyclist’s urinary tract will be crushed. The seat is angled slightly foreward (in this case) so that the weight is concentrated on the seat bones by the cyclist’s torso and arms forming a kind of arc between the seat and handlebars. Different dimensions or riding style will yield different positions. This particular just seems natural to me.. that’s all.

I reckon this looks epic! Love the bling wheels…...it’s only over the top if you can’t afford it. If you can, why not put them on - great build…
