The Idea was make a mean looking bike with significant green chainring, without chainguard, some sort of technical bike, no extra things, just components from metal, aluminium...Then when I stripped the paint, I decided to let the frame bare metal. I have some colors in head - Pear green, silver, black... That's all... simple.

It's my first build-off bike :)
