Yellow Bareknuckle

My new track bike. I ended up with a Bareknuckle frame instead of the Pàké. Marcus at Yojimbo's in Chicago built it up for me. He did an amazing job on the wheels and prepping the frame with Frame Saver.

 

Yellow 48cm Bareknuckle frame (Designed in America and made in Italy by the people who make Dedaccai frames—imported by EAI); Yellow Velocity Deep V Wheels with black spokes, generic black hubs—double-fixed rear with 18t EAI cog and 16t Shimano cog, and Bontrager 700x23c RaceLite Hardcase tires; Sugino 75 Crankset w/ 50t chainring; generic seatpost and headset, a nice agressive stem with Nitto bullhorns; an incredibly worthless Specialized Alias saddle; and a Shimano Sora front brake so I don't die when cruising down the hills in Cincinnati.

 

By far the fastest, most amazing bike I've ever been on. The first time I rode it I squealed like a little kid—it felt that good. It even feels good climbing the hills around Cincinnati, even though it clearly is made for the velodrome.
