Our friends at Bike Boutique in Holland recently sent us some build pics of this special hot lime steel Deluxe.
Jaap and his crew place a lot of emphasis on the small details that make the whole special. Check out the custom stay protector and the tied and soldered spokes on the Enve/Chris King wheel build.
Would you like a slice of melon hubs with your lime frame? If you haven’t held one of the new SRAM XX cassettes in your hands yet, I highly recommend it. It is just a piece of machined art, and I hear through the grapevine a glimpse of what’s to come with the update to the Red road group.
Plenty of stopping power and Tune skewers to match the hubs.
Chris and Phil put a lot of hours into the custom painted Niner carbon fork. Seems like an anachronism to put a rigid carbon fork on a steel frame, but the design of this fork somehow just works well with the classic lines of the frame.
A deluxe Deluxe indeed.
Thanks Jaap for sharing the pics!
