I must give the owner some appreciative credit for his attention to artistic detail on that steel canvas. Really now, who would have thought to use different colors of anodized chainring bolts - in the World Champion colors? And, there is even enamel applied in each individual drilled hole of the brake levers, as well as filling in engraving recesses on the brake calipers and levers. Even the white of the deep aero rims makes strange sense... on a bike which could not use wide whitewall tires. Red and yellow dice for the brake cable end terminals? Okay, the bike is not to my taste, but the owner certainly maintained his singular vision throughout. And, I could not see a single scratch anywhere on the bike. Perhaps we should remember some of the 1980s Baylis bikes... pink with polka dots?

My word for the Pog: "SUPERFLY".
