This bike just seemed like a perfect way to kick off our 12 Bling Builds of Xmas!  It's colorful, has some amazing one-off anodizing from Paul Components, White Industries, and Velocity and looks like it would be as much fun to ride as it is to look at! 


Check out the photos below, and if you want more information about the bike and the process of creating it, check out Squid's blog
