Nice paint job…but do those HED3s have a full valve cut-out???
wheel graphics would have made it cooler. incredible bike though.
Great paint. But, if you’re going to go through all of the trouble to set up a backdrop, at least put it in the big/small, line up the cranks and get that bottle cage off of there!!!

Yeah, I wonder, who did the paint? It looks like something Spectrum might do…
I just threw up a little in my mouth.
I hear it was thrown in at a photo-shoot as a “Quick take a picture of my bike” thus not a photo-shoot bike and set up.
It belongs to a gruelling Clydesdale beast from the Lake District, with i hear a fondness for beer and burgers in order to maintain the clydesdale status.

Jordan,
Tell your friend they have one sweet paint job. I’m not usually a “flames” painted on stuff kind of guy, but since seeing that prototype in the booth at Interbike last year, it really has my considering such a paint job on my next steed.
I also like the added touch on the seat post…
…although you may want to tell him he doesn’t need to ride in circles so much. Races with this type of bike typically have less turns in them. That can be the ONLY reason why it seems there is 3 feet (or 1 meter) of cable behind the aerobars before entering the downtube 
I’d think about taking the front wheel to have some similar paint added in small sections that line up with the flames on the fork…
…and then…I haven’t seen it done yet…but perhaps some faint “smoke” appearing on the seat tube and rear wheel (the after product of the flames).
Perhaps a black bottle cage and black brake levers too…
Nonetheless, it is still a beautiful ride!
I have a name for that one.
I hear the rider of this bike is a cross between Hugh Grant and Matt Damon and is as generous as he is stylish.
How did the paint behind the fork get so chipped?
So QROO sent the bike to Des Moines as a custom paint show piece and then on the return journey UPS decided to feed it to the sharks (The box had a bite size chunk that looked like those surf boards you see after shark attacks) i could say that on transition re-entry the paint got so hot it peeled away…lol…thus the paint fork chips.
that bike is sweet!!!
