Congrats, dude!!! You will NOT regret it. Just don't even thinking of trying to duplicate my purple Yaqui!

Somebody on this board posted a pic of their blue Yaqui a while back. That was a beauty, and would be my choice. Too many red ones out there (nothing wrong with that -- I just like the idea of one-of-a-kind).

Pooks' purple one is pretty cool, too. Only one I've seen. Mostly, I've only seen it from behind, and seeing around his behind is a challenge. ;-)

That was JohnA's bike with the Campy set up. He has the Carbo and the Meriola in the blue. I think the 2 stock colors are blue and red. Ves can do any color for a $200 up charge.

Gerat bikes.

That's it! Them's fighting words!! That reminds me about the time I asked my girlfriend "do these shorts make me look fat?" To which she responded, "No, your ass does." Du dum bum..

Sounds like the time I took off my shirt after a long bike ride... My wife takes a look at me and replies, "It looks like you have man breasts" I hit the shower... been doing 100 pushups a day ever since.

Check out my badass new ride...

The color schemes between front half and back half really turned out great! Looks like two separate bikes! Never seen it with an Easton fork...very nice.

Thanks! The pics don't even do the bike justice.... And, thanks for your recommendation prior to my purchase. Best buy I've ever made on tri equipment.

My Manzanita is blue. I know it's just a Manzanita, but it still looks pretty good. I've even gotten a few compliments on it. It's nothing like the machine pictured above, but still pretty sharp.

Sweeeeeeeet! Great call on the red/black two tone. Why didn't I think of that!

btw how do you post a pic on here?

Man, what are you talking about? A Carbo is no better than a Manzanita, just different! Of course you've received compliments on that fine piece of bicycling art! I'm not surprised at all. Ride proud!

Ves did a great job matching it up with the Easton fork. I had asked him to do a fade from the red to the black, be he thought it would look better the way it is now. He was right.

To post a pic, you have to host it on a website and then cut and paste it into your post (at least that is how I did it). PM me and you can email me the picture you want up and I'll hook you up.

Thanks man. I got a bike with one gear and I'm not to sure about the fork and you send me a picture of high porness? So now I got issues because it gave me a rise and your a dude so that makes it a dude bike so now I might be gay. Thanks man. Thank you and you freakin super sexy fantastic bike!

customerjon @gmail.com is where information happens.

He's a dude, therefore his ride must be a chick. Ergo, you are not gay. But you are eyeballin' his ride, which may cause other concerns...

Now that is a kick ass ride.
You did SlowTwitch proud.

Pure sex. I love it. Wicked paint scheme, on a sick, sick ride. Ves rules.

Andy -- Wow! Spectacular paint. Good taste and well-executed.

If I am remembering correctly, the upcharge for custom color is only $100. I went with Chrome Yellow on my Ocotillo. Custom geometry is $200.

That ride is so right its just gotta be wrong. You must be getting fined for that machine, just standing still. I just got my color chart from Ves and now u got me tryin to be all creative. sure do like those black pearls. Decisions, decisions...

Wow, that is so beuatiful. What a nice looking bike. Well equipped too. I would love to have one of those. That is super cool.

Great job.
