Little story behind the frame and it's built up.

This bike represents my coming to adulthood. Her name is Bella and she
is my first built from my first paycheck from my first real job.
Finding a job right out of college is a blessing during these hard
times, so I figured the best way to invest my money is buying the last
bike I'll ever own. The frame was picked up from a fantastic person 10
miles from my work. Originally I was planning to buy his Italian Frame
but after some talking I found that we both had very similar ideals
when it came to biking, despite our huge age gap. He so happened to
have a frame he was planning to build up but never got to over the
years. After many months of begging he finally sold the frame to me.
To keep the bike similar to his original build, I went around building
the bike for it's functionally, in particular to the Carradice Barley
bag. But I also wanted to give the bike some class so I added all the
Campy stuff. But don't let the Campy parts fool you this bike gets
ridden daily through everything, fire trails, mud, sand. I love this
bike but more importantly I love what this bike stands for in my life,
"If you work hard in anything in life it will always work out."
