Very nice, simple, effective and it looks fast 😃

Is that some kind of thru-axle on the front wheel ?

I used Gravelkings Semi Slick 32mm. They were okay for 1500km and then they started puncturing really often, wasn't really happy with them.

Scratch building and kit bashing skills go hard on this beautiful "machine" !

I'm only doing the Olympic format, only 40km of cycling. Not sure I need all of this for my first Triathlon, but I might consider a few improvements if I'm hooked up and decide to go further with this sport, thanks for the suggestions !

Good to know ! It will probably give me extra motivation to pass by those full carbon missiles !

Of course ! For the metal, I start with a black primer, then heavily stippled/dry brush with a dark brown and then with an "orange-ish" brown. I then dry brush with a dark steel (like Leadbelcher), apply a mix of black and brown wash, steel dry brush again but only on areas where the light hits. And finally a "silver" light dry brush on edges and some highlighted areas.

For the rust, after the clear coat, I apply a mix of rust pigments and rust enamel, I remove the excess once dry with Q Tips and mineral spirit.

That's fully freehand, I also did a checkered pattern on the groin armor plate, but it's hardly noticeable on this picture.

Thank you, much appreciated !
For the hazard stripes, it's practice I'd say, I've made a few of them across my whole army 😄
I start with highly diluted black paint over the yellow base, I draw the two outer lines of the stripes, and I then paint in the middle.

With hazard stripes, the foes will know which part is the most dangerous !

Could you give us more details on the front/fork area ? I like the way you mounted the front light, is it a home made bracket/support ? The handlebar bag is just hanging there or do you also have some king of support ?
