Amflow PL Carbon Pro Dream Build. The Liberace Edition.

Astro66 said:
I am posting these designs and progress to get input. I will always use my own eye for final design. But I really appreciate all the comments.

As has been shown. I am making subtle changes from the comments. That will include, maybe dialling back the gold.

I have far too many graphics and fittings in gold, than what will be fitted. But I will try different combinations and amounts when the bike arrives. And make a final decision then.

My OCD is not as severe as your but I can admit that I like themes with details but since most go for gold I went for red on mine named "Red Devil"

I also ordered a new helmet to replace the one from a crash this week, after finding blood coming from my head after a shower. Looks like the head impact was a little harder than I thought.

And with delivery imminent, here is the final bike design. I'm sticking to the Amflow name and Model with the text. I also found a gold seat.

And the Liberace branding will be more discrete on the top of the downtube.

Do what you want who cares, I was the first to coin this the Liberace build. I like gold/black but this is a bit over the top for me but that shouldn't bother you if thats what you like.

I won't buy a Trek, Specialed or AMFLOW because I think they are poser brands, but thats just me and I'm not sure why anyone would care what I think.

Think what you wish about bikes; but it seems you are extending your dislike of the brands and labeling riders of them as "posers". Lots riders of those brands here that are certainly not posers and have their own reasons for owning one of those brands.

Why go out of your way to troll this issue?

And why did I take the bait? o_O

Sorry but you can't change my mind, I still think Trek, Specialed and AMFLOW are poser brands.

I really don't want to buy a poser brand. Which brands do you advise I look at Ck?

Let's not get too far off topic. This thread is about a custom Amflow PL Carbon Pro Black and Gold build. I welcome ideas and banter. But it's not really a "Which EMTB to buy" thread. There are heaps of them. I hope you understand. :)

It will have the invisiframe protection, which I'm hoping will prevent it getting too scuffed up from falls.

Update on the bike arrival. I got a phone call on Friday that the bike had arrived at the LBS. As it had only arrived in Australia on Weds, I thought that was very quick. But anyway, I asked for the bank details to transfer the final payment.

But before I could transfer the money, I got a text saying it was an XL bike that had arrived, so not my bike. So the waiting continues. Sorry for the delay in the actual build.

I spoke to the shop owner yesterday. The bike is supposed to arrive in the next few days. Fingers crossed.

Whilst I'm here. I messaged Amflow support about a chainwheel guard. And they said it needs to be a 104BCD guard, mounted to the chainwheel, because they have no mountings on the frame. I have ordered both a black and a gold version, because when I added the gold one to the design. It did seem to be too much gold.

Thoughts ?

I still dont approve the cheap looking brakes gold Trickstuff is a must but not everyone can afford them so I fully understand your choice.

Congratulations on your new title, and as a fellow poser, I couldn't agree more with your build! I am wondering about your choice of rear hub. I know that its gold(ish) but do you think its going to be durable enough for an AMFLOW motor on an emtb?
