Independent Fabrication Cross Jester w/ Ultegra Di2

Whoa.  Am I right?  In 2009 the Independent Fabrication Corvid was voted Best of Show at the North American Handmade Bike show, and for good reason.  Custom carbon lugs to custom carbon tubes, both by ENVE in Utah to IF-spec.

But, being a shop with such an emphasis on cyclocross, we needed something a little different.  Last year "001" was made for Molly Cameron, it was the very first Cross Jester that Independent kicked out.  They took the design of the Corvid and built it into the most beautiful full-carbon custom CX bike ever.  Independent hasn't marketed that model, but if you find the right person to ask, and ask nice enough, a Cross Jester can be had.

The following is a nice detail of what's been done to this frameset.  But, the Ultegra Di2 is something special and it's getting it's own post.  So, sit back and enjoy the bike porn.  We'll go over the details later....

  2. That sure is a pretty frame. I'm not sure if those lugs are functional or not...but they look wicked.
