Wow that BB is something. Must be a challenging to get mitered and welded properly.

Really nice to see and welcome break from production frames.

Are these frames really north of 8000$

They look nice, but the price is crazy.

North of $7K in Aussie dollars, a relative bargain if you’re shopping in USD

Agree. Silver paint on the seat post would work

It's more the shape of the topper that bothers me. Darimo or enve would look better

I really like this WR Compositi but have a few other posts inc. a Darimo T2 for comparison. The next few days will be spent refining the fit and details so we’ll see.

The T2 would be a chefs kiss. I reckon your prettiest one yet. Damn I love a metal bike

No. I’ve had painted seatposts before and they’re a terrible idea- especially if you change saddles in the future. The handlebars & post have been left intentionally black on this build.
