New Whip

Team rider Doug Jenne is elbow-grease deep in his new bike build. His Vicious frame broke so he's got a new rig he's whipping together. Here's the scoop from Dirty-Doug:

"Clearcoat and decals have been stripped. I sanded the frame with steelwool and then primed it with automobile primer. Two to three coats of flat black have been applied.

Ginger printed out Matt's Ghostship script logo (ghostshipclothing.com) onto sticker paper (what I call it). Logos are around 4.5 inches long. Going to pepper the toptube/downtube/headtube junction with this logo on the sticker paper. Graffiti-style. Then spray flat white (solid) front front to back tapering to the black basecoat about halfway down the toptube and seattube. Once dry I'll pull the sticker paper off to reveal
black Ghostship logos all over the front portion of the frame.

All my components are black except the titanium handlebars and green Ergon grips. 29er Singlespeed with a carbon lefty front fork. Yummy!!

Thank You TimD for the frame! Thank you SeanD for the lead on the Lefty. Thank you Robb for the Stans wheelset deal."
