Why did you choose this frame out of all frames on the market today?
Erik van de Wardt: I mainly check what Paul has in stock and if there is anything with a geometry I like. I never really noticed this frame but when I saw the sweet colour I looked up the geo and found out is was spot on for me! I also really dig the ICS chainstay Federal came up with. I bought the last one in stock a few months ago before it was gone.

What was the biggest difference over the last bike you had?
Erik van de Wardt: Geo wise the bars are taller and the back end of the frame is one halflink longer which is perfect, coming from a too short feeling frame. I also really dig the OS bar clamping and ICS chainstay on this new bike.

How do you like the look of your bike?
Erik van de Wardt: Coming from a trashy custom painted white bike with chrome parts I am happy to
