Johnny got himself a new track frame (Colossi) at Eurobike 2010. A customised (one off) aluminum frame, which was hand built by Jan Kole. The graffiti styled decals are quite unique on a modern track bike and I think that they got it right on this one. I love its geometry, with the curvy seat tube, bringing the rear wheel right into the frame. Here are a few shots I took of the Colossi.

I can’t wait to see it built up, but Johnny is going to have to wait another 2 month for the aluminum to cure, recommendation by Mr Kole as the frame was recently built up.
