This has to be the most beautiful custom build I've ever seen...

The website is all in Japanese, so no details.
(Sorry for so many images, but the jewel like quality of this build is so amazing in it's detail and craftsmanship)

Amazing attention to details, finely crafted pieces and parts. :hearteyes: I truly appreciate the craftsmanship that went into this and the custom tooled pieces.:cool: I really want to like this bike but feel everything I like about it was applied to a mundane bike design. :confused:What a shame.

Sometimes it takes me a while of staring to appreciate a bike I don't like at first. I think the wheels/tires may be throwing me off....
 


It is a consigned piece of art for the client Kinotrope, if you use chrome to land on the web page, it will translate it all for you. A lot of thought went into it by the artist, and it took the fabrication team over a year to create. Gullcraft did the cad work and the fabrication. http://www.gullcraft.com/

The artist touches on why he chose each detail and what material for it. A very interesting tale.
The first run of the bike, the lugs were stainless and carbon tubes, but it had to much flex, this is aluminum lugs and titanium tubes. $$$$$$$

I dig the 11 speed rear hub and the discs.

I also like that almost everything on the machine is hand made.
 
It's incredible.
Me...I would like a more comfortable seat and the front fender should be much longer, functional. I'm not picking on it though, an amazing amount of work.
As mentioned sometimes less is more.
I like bikes I've seen here CABE members have restored! A lot of beauties!
