    This is another example of how limitless your design abilities are. It also illustrates the self critical evaluation you do. As long as you enjoy this kind of creativity, stick with it. Just remember to not be too critical of yourself. This is a learning curve and it takes time. Rome was not built in a day, and you are exploring unknown territory. I look forward to seeing what you do next.

    Elena, can't wait to see how it turns out. You have a tremendous amount of talent even though you may not think so. I'm amazed at what you have done and look forward to more videos. Keep up the great work and have a nice day.

    Wow! My first video was your overnighter around San Luis Obispo. I camped w/ my pup there forever ago and you immediately inspired me to bike camp there sometime in the future. But I was super surprised at this video!! I’m a painter, luthier, have refinished instruments etc. as well as make art… and I was not expecting to be so impressed with your process! Brava! You’re impressively methodical. Maybe that’s a video editor’s necessity ? It’s also such a great contrast to the organic and creative nature of your experimentation. I absolutely love the orangey, purple, yellow, gold super bloom effect. My ‘85 orange Stumpjumper has all those highlight accents :-). I know I will love your finished result.
    Naturally I’m coveting your access to a spray booth. I contemplated for a “minute” what it would take to create a pro booth at home for guitar bodies. But I’m just too self conscious to freak out neighbors .. let alone how safe you need to be for yourself and loved ones. So that all just ups my admiration. Yeah, it’s not your booth and you don’t do this professionally … but even better in my estimate! You have incredible friends and you only follow your creative passions… thank you for sharing. I already wish I could emulate this project too ✨💪🏽💫

      Hydro-dipped bikes are really cool :) from my understanding they can be a pain as you have to put many layers of clear on to “bury” the paint texture.

    Nice paint job, but, what an absurd frame design. The biking industry has jumped the shark.

      High end frames are designed using material stiffness analysis, so this particular design is optimized for stiffness and weight as well as cost effectiveness in molding the panel sides. Progress is a b!t(h. 😁

      @@FarmfieldI don’t think this frame fits ANYWHERE in those descriptions… most cost effective, lightweight and stiff - with THIS design? NEVER! It’s just a gag…

      @@fiddleronthebike I disagree. It's Specialized, they definetly do stress analysis in Cathia or alike for all their carbon frames. If any bike company is known for engineering stuff, for real, it's Specialized.
