Rich's Toxic Orange Road Racer, Its Plum Crazy

Just got Rich's road frame back from the booth.  These were two colors that I never would've thought of putting together yet after seeing it I was pleasantly surprised. Toxic Orange and Plum Crazy are the chosen colors while Paul and Wayne from Ace's Wild Custom are the ones who laid them down.  Nice job guys.  They always make me look good. This is basically a size 62cm frame that has been tightened up a little with a sloping top tube.  There appears to be a lot of steel here yet it tips the scales at only a little over 4 lbs.  Not bad Virginia.  That Pear to Penta down tube is a pretty beefy stick and the styling is excellent, "fancy music" as I like to say. I love the looks of a straight blade fork and with a 1 1/8" steel steerer this thing is corner like its on rails. The old stem and bar is just to hold the fork in place for photos, Rich has his own build kit to dial it in to his liking and I can't wait to see it all finished. After talking with Rich these past few weeks i have learned that he apparently has quite an arsenal of bicycles in his shop. Bishops, Cannondales, Howards, and Serottas are just a few of the bikes in his collection and I'm glad that he made room in the stable for a MEECH.  Thanks Rich and enjoy the ride!
