A beautiful new bike is born:

I was trying to wait until I'd finished building it, but I'm just so smitten by this bike, I couldn't wait any longer to share it with everyone out there...

Meet Jim Burger's new titanium Crown Jewel, built just for him by Independent Fabrication in Somerville, Mass.:



Jim chose nice, understated black decals so as not to take away from the beautiful finish of the frame:

Cool crown engraving on the rear brake bridge:


I don't think I can say enough about how beautiful and unique the shotpeened titanium finish is... this isn't your cousin's boring brushed Litespeed! The shot peening gives the raw titanium a depth and a sparkle you just don't see from anybody else. And those welds... flawless!


It that a beautiful bicycle or what!? We are so proud to be Fort Worth's #1 Indy Fab dealer...

I've been a big fan of theirs for years. They really do make great bikes. Gotta love'em... dang.

Just DAMN. That is the SEX.

(unfortunately for me, very expensive sex that I can not afford right now...)

Oh yeah, what's the build package list? Components, wheels, etc...

Campy, just to make me even more jealous.
