Wow nice build !!! How did you do your handlebars like that ?
Posted over 7 years ago
Thx,the bar wraps are custom made by Mick "busyman" Peel in Australia and I sew them on by myself.
Posted over 7 years ago
This is truly going above and beyond. It is a thing of beauty! I love it!
Posted about 8 years ago
It's custom made from some red suede to match the Cinelli VIP saddle ;-)

that's not a devil 101 chain they only come in gold. not gold and black. that has to be the ten speed version just used as a track chain which actually works well ive did it plenty of times. the devil 101 is all gold

Well,good eyes,I just updated some photos with the D101 on,the black/gold one is IZUMI V which Chris mount on just for pics before shipping the bike to me.

From one Bishop owner to another.
Nice!

Liked your Bishop for quite a long time,actually I was thinking to let Chris made a full stainless version as well,inspired by yours.
Posted over 8 years ago
I wonder how bothersome it would've been to kept it super duper clean whilst having it displayed on that sort of terrain, haha
Above all, that is one shiny bike. *Thumbs up*

Interesting mix of components, and loads of info. Great build, it's clear you have a lot of love for this ride. Hope you are enjoying it!

Checked out Bishop website; base price was 2800 USD? Plus all the extra stuff that's added on top of that.
This thing is almost the price of a cheap new car eh?? Haha.. it's a beauty though!
Posted almost 9 years ago
Yup,all the stainless bits upgrade and the custom filleted lugs cost extra money,as well as the custom campy parts and paint job,I haven't counted the whole price but I believe it'll be more or less around $10K,a bit too much though:-P

Felix, my Chinese is HORRIBLE. Almost called my mom "dad" like 1000x times #americanbornproblems
Posted almost 9 years ago

Posted almost 9 years ago
What a stunner! Words fail,hope it rides as well as it looks(it should,all top shelf). An example of doing it right. Enjoy.

Had a Bianchi Team RC MTB in Martini colors. Best part of the bike was the paint scheme! Nice to see some POP on a bike.
Posted almost 9 years ago
Thx for the kind words``` and it sure rides as wonderful as it looks!even better;-D
Posted almost 9 years ago
no pedals?
Posted almost 9 years ago
Well these pics were taken before Chris shipped it out,so no pedals mounted,which means no one could ride it before I put my pedals on;-P
Posted almost 9 years ago
ah k, makes sense =) love your bishop, you must have been paid a fortune
Posted almost 9 years ago
Well as for reference,I paid $850 for the custom Martini parts and another $800 for the paint job ;-P
Posted almost 9 years ago
congratulation for the featured boss ;) just like what ive said before ,, this one is definitely a featured..
Posted almost 9 years ago
How do you dismount the chain if you get a flat? Missing link/snap on lock?
Posted almost 9 years ago
Actually there is a bolt type master link which I could disconnect the chain easily if needed ;-P
Posted almost 9 years ago
The chain is short but he should still be able to roll the chain off the chainring.

so amazing, i'm all about this bike. i only wish i could get my hands on something this immaculate. the drive-train is awesome on this bike.
Posted almost 9 years ago
This came out amazing man, again I rarely see people execute bikes with such an eye for detail. Congrats!!
Posted almost 9 years ago
Thx man! Chris and I do really put a lot of attention to every single detail of this bike,almost every part of it had been modified/customized ;-P
Posted almost 9 years ago
In RAW variant bicycle was much more cooler - with track bike minimalistic spirit. Now is really gay-lollipop'ish. It was big mistake to paint it like this.
Also this drilling is awful - just waste of cool and rare componets.
Posted over 9 years ago
haha! I like your comment! I've thought about some cleaner paint schemes but Chris just convinced me to stick with the martini one and it turns out great atmo``` love your colnago btw.
Posted over 9 years ago
man, your bike with red details was great inspiration for me when i build up my Viner and i really think that is big mistake to make it so colorful with a lot not nessesary details like art-deco style which not assosiated with track bicycles just with cruisers may be. Sorry for that but i can't keep silece because i really love your bike how it was before painting.
Posted over 9 years ago
Glad you like my Pelizzoli,actually it is now in the Peli workshop for a full transformation to a fender-ed single speed commuter;-D
As for the Bishop,to be honest I'm not a big fan of fancy paint jobs as well but this time Bryan Mayers of Fresh frame really make the frameset pop and still keep the classic looking,paint scheme is really a very personal thing and people love/hate on it for subjective taste,so here it is,I love it even for the 2 years of wait,and I believe it'll looking pretty dope when I ride it on the velodrome.
Posted over 9 years ago
Btw it is not a lollipop kind of scheme but a classic racing stripe used on many classic racing cars,so there is a big difference between this and some fancy neon colored fixed gear.And I just want to try something bright as I already have another very classic looking bike;-P
Posted over 9 years ago
"bike with red details" - is your Bishop bike before paiting, not Pelizzoli)
i agree that color sheme is a matter of taste and if you like it - it's your own choice. Just enjoy riding your bike.
Posted over 9 years ago
i love this.
so.
freakin.
MUCH!! hahha you are a lucky man.
bishop is definitely in my top 3 builders. his craftmanship is ridiculous. every frame a piece of art.
Posted over 9 years ago
this has to be the nicest track bike on this site. Def needs to be featured
Posted over 9 years ago
awesome! what kind of bar-tape is that?
Posted over 9 years ago
Thx buddy!The bar wrap are custom made by Chris to match the cinelli VIP suede saddle;-P
Posted over 9 years ago
really clean build, I usually don't comment but well done! Nice to see someone with an eye on detail~
Posted over 9 years ago
Thanks for the compliments,Chris's detail works are beyond the top of the game!
And your Kalavinka is a jaw dropping beauty too!
Steel is forever real!

By the way,I love your candy green Level mamachari which inspired me to transfer my Pelizzoli to a single speed porteur!
Posted over 9 years ago
Awesome! Yes the level is my daily commuter here in tokyo and the rack does wonders when shopping or carrying a girl!
Posted over 9 years ago
Actually perfect. Nothing can even compare.
Posted over 9 years ago
Haha thx budy,Chris and me both wanted to make it as perfect as possible;-P without any compromise
Posted over 9 years ago
I can't wrap my mind around how thin the seattube lug is pointed. It's so perfectly filed that it almost seems to flow into the campy aero. It'll be a long time before I see another track bike that can even come close to this good.
Posted over 9 years ago
Thx for the compliment! Chris is truly a master builder who stands on top of the game,few builder can come close to his level of skills these days,so that's why I think it's worth the 20 months of wait!
