A customer in Nebraska asked for an SL road frame but painted like a Corvette Mako Shark. He even had a metal shark to be applied to the top tube. It is an interesting build as the parts that were available were from three Shimano groups. Yes, this is a road bike but it needed to be mechanical shifting with disc brakes-not that easy of a combo to get these days. That said, the GRX 820 levers and derailleurs do the job when coupled with an Ultegra road crankset. The wheels are Shimano RS-710 , probably the best deal Shimano has on carbon tubless wheels. This bike is around $ 5,500.00 as shown- it's a hell of a lot of bike for that money. Who would have thought that custom would ever be a 'price point' bike.
