Pink'd out Atlantis Build

[James / Analog Cycles]

We recently finished work on this intense Atlantis.  Lots of pink cerakote accents, per the customer's request.  I'd wager it's one of the first pink Nitto bottle cages ever.  Partial build list:

Cliffhanger rims, tubeless tape, Rene Herse tires set up tubeless.  Paul Motolites, polished.  S83 seatpost, cerakoted.  Custom Leather hoods from Herringwear, who also makes our Fifth Season canvas bags.  

Prototype Discord 30mm stem.  Spank bars.  Customized cloth bar tape.  

It might not be for everyone, but it's unique!  Easy to spot your bike at the Riv Rally.  -james / analog cycles vermont

Those handlebars aren't going to stay pink very long.  In fact, they've already started to go.  Perhaps one or two coats of clear varnish would keep the dirt transfer off without altering the color or compromising the feel of the bar wrap?

Wow! Wish I’d had that when I was racing mountain bikes back in ‘87. Beautiful job, James.

John (fondly remembering crackle paint and Bell V1 helmets)

It amazes me that anyone can remember the Bell V1 fondly. I remember mine, but fondness most definitely is not a word I'd associate with those recollections.

[Steve Palincsar]

I had a V1 Pro.  I recall it quite fondly compared to the Bell Biker, because the V1 Pro fit my head, while the Biker was like in Leopard Skin Pillbox Hat -- "... it balances on your head just like a
Mattress balances on a bottle of wine."    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOCYQtrm19s   Nice and warm in winter, too as I recall.

Back in the day, the V-1 was the first widely available helmet that didn’t look … dorky? The Bell Biker always looked to me like a small bathroom sink turned upside down. They made a Touring model that looked a little better. But the V-1 had that “leather hairnet” design that looked “cool.”

I had a V-1 that I used for years. I kept it around for a long time after, and finally tossed it a few years ago.

I moved from the Skid Lid to the V1 Pro and thought it was quite a step up. After Skid Lid failed a safety test our LBS, The Greasey Wheel, gave a credit for buying a Bell  helmet. Steve

Great bike James!

[Weston Hein]

Style for miles, I dig it! Fantastic pics as always James

[James / Analog Cycles]

ha!  yes!  

[James / Analog Cycles]

I love crackle paint, black chrome, fades, just spare me the flame paint jobs!

Hi Steve, the tape is a pretty light pink.  It's not Newbaums.  Considering the wrap is only a few days old, I don't think it's starting to go.  The glitter on the tape necessitated a number of shellac coats already.
