Dark Mark's Dream Bike

edited October 2016 in Main
I have gotten my dream frame, the Specialized Nosecone Shiv. This is quite literally the sexiest bike ever made.




Circumstances are such that I can build this up with the best everything. I am getting custom paint that will make all blood leave your extremities and gather in the crotchal region.

If you had carte blanche to build up a bike any way you could, what would you use?

I am talking everything: brake levers, BB, crank arms, fucking head set bolts. The wheels will be Enve and that is final.

Help me build the most fuckable bike ever made.

    Whoever took this picture really caught the sexual essence of that frame.
    Damn it looking good AF.

    Edit: the bike looks alright too

    I will be serious for a second and come back later with a jab. The new SRM carbon cranks that are on cyclingnews right now are the golden sex toys you need to lovingly transfer power from your virgin calf-skin clad shoes to the road.

    Pearl irridescent "ghost" flames that disappear, then come alive at different angles.
    Velvet dingleballs all around the interior headliner.
    Massive sub-woofer.

    I happen to think the SRAM red Quarq is cooler than the SRM above, (no offense to Robert). For now, the SRAM red in BB30 is way lighter than running a Dura Ace SRM with BB30 to Hollowtech II adapter. However, in deference to the cyclingnews highly technical claim of "ridiculously light" for the new SRM DA unit, you'd better get these specs. Their last stuff has to go on a "ridiculous diet" simply to match the weight of a SRAM Red Quarq in BB30. Of course your decision may be guided by trying to match the groupset you get. Personally, I'd have no problem running the SRAM Red crank with a DA setup, but I run mechanical so I don't know shit for shinola about the e-stuff. I've never heard that the cranks have any integration with the electronic groupset otherwise.

    My only request is you get the little name with US flag saying Dark Mark rather than your proper name.

    E-tap: Check
    CS OSPW and BB: Check
    Enve 7.8: Most likely

    For the crankset I am doing a 1x build, likely the Absolute Black 1x sram direct mount. Still looking for a good crank arm, preferably very black. Looking for help here.

    Powermeter I think I am doing the PowerTap pedals so I can swap between this and the road bike.

    I will do that @ellsworth53t. Will be a few weeks as it's getting shipped to the painter next week. I went with Jack Kane in North Carolina.

    How much is a custom paint job. Approximately. I'm sure it differs depending on what you want. I wouldn't mind customizing my frame.

    Turbo Cottons if you're going clincher Enves. The sexiest tire ever, plus, you know, they roll fast AF.

    Too bad eTap doesn't play nice as 1x, though, because that would for sure be the answer to me if an option. Something to think about, though, is that being 2011, the frame might not actually be the most optimized for electronic shifting, meaning you could have (gasp) a non-hidden battery, or have to take a drill/dremel to the frame, which is never ideal.

    @idking90 My man @Zach Boring has already built up a 1x with eTap with really wide gearing, too. It can be done and it works.

    I know I will have to have the blip box exposed up front somewhere, but I actually have a clever place in mind that I think will look pretty slick.

    Duly noted on the tires. I like the new Vittoria graphenes as well.

    Tune SmartFoot for crankarms, or Cdale SiSL2 with the branding removed.
