hell yes!! well done Keith!
Ooof! Colour is great, so understated. Details in the stem are doing it for me.
Amazing.
Good job guys! Can’t wait to see this in the flesh.
Beautiful. Like a plate of Japanese food it has nothing more than the essential, and is all the better for it.
Someone said understated … I’d call it: throw away all the rubbish and leave the essentials.
Bravo !!
Congrats to both the maker & the owner 
Now … get a scratch in it, ride it lots and follow every road to see where it leads you !!!
bang on boys, beautiful work. colour makes it for me
Nice, you must be stoked Liam
So stoked on this - all of the small details on it really come together. Nothing is over the top at all which is what I wanted from the start. The dotted circle detail on the rear bridge is awesome and I love that you can see it in the reflection of the Paul brakes (which JP pointed out to me). Of course the moustache is a big feature of the bike, something that I didn’t ask for - but it is the personal touches like this that came as a surprise as part of the signature finish. Keith has gone over and above of what I was expecting - he is a perfectionist.
As for the colour choice, most of you are aware how my decision process goes. Keith copped the full brunt of it - I went in viewed his colour samples, within 10 minutes we had it locked down and we both decided that the colour combo would look spot on. We dubbed it ‘Smoke and Whisky’ there and then. In less than 24 hours I was asking Keith to hold off on the paint while I went over things in my head, mock ups were done, messages were sent, opinions were sort. Colour choice can make or break a bike in my opinion. I wanted this to sing. After 2 weeks we finally locked the colours in again which were the original colours we locked in the first day. Once I saw the colour in the flesh I knew I had made the right decision. It is deep, and until you can see it in the flesh you won’t be able to appreciate what colour it is as it takes on the colours of the surroundings a bit. I have seen it with a gold grey, and a green grey so far.
I will report more once I have had the chance to have a good few rides on it, but for the moment - the bike is going on tour up to Sydney where it will be right at home at a whisky event.
Stunner! Nice one Ezy and Keith! Not every day you get have a dream come true. Looking forward to ride photos and reports.
Sweet. As.
PS. I really like the way this thread went. Originally after an old roadie frame… then to custom Kumo.
Looks really great Ezy! Excellent work Kumo!
A+. I need to get my #dadlyf game sorted and get down to CBR for a ride with you guys.
I’ll be more than happy to have it when you get sick of it!
Checked it out in the flesh last night. Holy shit. It’s so nice.
I will never get sick of looking at it.
One little detail
Friggin awesome Liam! Details in the lugs/2 paints contrast are so so good.
And of course that ‘little detail’ …
This is so beautiful! Best looking bike I’ve seen in a long while. Understated with so many awesome details, great colour, component choice, it all fits so beautifully together, just great.
This is rad! You should contact cyclingtips to have it featured.
