Nate Mumford's custom Squarebuilt polo bike

Look at how beautiful this thing is! and advanced! Propriety coupler system, reinforced track ends, wishbone seatstay... hell, even the textured industrial paint on the fork is a step forward! Lance at Squarebuilt has outdone himself. I can't wait to ride this thing- the geometry seems so.. forward. Then of course there's the details... Tompson setback seatpost, custom Squarebuilt bars, Profiles cranks, Tree sprocket, White Industries freewheel, Ribmo tires... that's the kind of quality we should all aspire to!

Sweet bike Nate, thanks for sharing the photos!

A few more portraits from the 2012 Lock-In

Not everyone took both before and after photos, but I just had to post more... these are just too good!

..and Lembo should be a model. We've always known he's one suave mofo, but shots like that last one just prove it!
