My new bike is finally ready! It’s been 6 months in the making and so much fun watching it all come together. The frame was designed and built by Tarn at Primate Frames here in Sydney. I sourced the parts from various places including Japan, America and the UK, a lot of it is from Japan, I picked up some great bargains when I was over there in September. Pete from Star Enamellers did an amazing job on the paintwork, including my lovely custom sprayed Aerospoke, Chub Hub and B43 all in matching pink.
It’s so much fun to ride, it’s really compact and feels great to zip about on. I went for a slightly smaller frame than I usually ride and I managed to stay away from the usual black and white I tend to stick to, and I’m glad I did, I’m loving the pink wheels!
The specs are:
- Candy Cranks frame and forks
- Aerospoke, Chub Hub, B43 custom sprayed
- Paul lever
- Chris King headset
- Onebyesu CNC’d Brake
- Eastern bars, custom sprayed white
- Nitto stem
- Supertype seat post
- Regal saddle
- Candy Cranks chainring
- Sugino 75 cranks
- MKS custom nuevo pedals
- Toshi double toe straps
- Starfuckers cages
- Soma grips
- Phil Woods bottom bracket
- Shadow Conspiracy chain
- Gran Compe tyres

Just beautiful. I love all the custom painted parts. Wish I knew of somewhere close to home to get nice paint like that done.
