Additional Info

I have always dreamt of building a raw frame, basically a blank canvas to showcase all my selfmade carbon projects from over the years on. So here we go - a build into which i have poured countless hours of my life and one that probably comes as close to making your own bike without actually making a bike.

There are endless things to explore on this build and I keep forgetting about all the details that make it so special. And when the right light hits it, the texture is something else.

Full Finesse Components finishing kit for Forbidden bikes incl. custom black Ti bolts.

Thanks to Forbidden and RideWrap for supporting the build!
