Recently, I've been really into the "Lightning Bolt" complete bikes being sold by "CRUST BIKES".
A beautiful assembly just like in the original.
Instead of silver, we've chosen to use black parts throughout. It's a completely different impression from the traditional, drab Randonneur vibe, and is simply cool. Putting it all together in black gives it a very cool look.
The parts assembly also looks very tasteful and in good condition. The jet black full fenders are so beautiful you almost get sucked in.
The way he uses gold as an accent color here and there is kind of sexy, but it works well.
The drive system is all "White Industries". Functionality and beauty come together. No complaints. A sure thing.
A gorgeous and luxurious car.
If I had the money, I'd like to try putting it together like this... Since I'm not well-off financially, I'll build it conservatively using a mix of used parts.
