Our unofficial foray into the road world:
Brian, of The Path bike shop in Tustin, is the proud owner of this ride, named Persephone. He took her out for a spin this morning & shared a couple shots. The highlights of this bike are comfy, mtb’er-friendly positioning, responsive, but stable geometry, and a killer translucent powdercoat job that compliments the EC90 carbon rear end. The only thing she’s lacking* is a Sterling head badge…
* (fruit juice kickstand not included)
You install the rear triangle post-powdercoating, right? That carpet fiber stuff is a strange, unknown material in my shop.
The frame looks lovely.

Looks great! Lovin the powdercoat and the fruit juice kickstand!

Jruss- yes, the rear gets bonded in after p/c. I’m happy with how she turned out.

It needs a sibling, preferably one that wants to live in a suitcase and eschew multiple gears.

Yeah!
