Independent 0x : 2009

The OX was welded on January 1st, 2009 (beginning of western calendar) and was finished on January 26th (beginning of the Chinese zodiac "Year of the OX").

The stance of this beautiful effort by Independent Fabrication is enough to make you pause. Every little detail is just perfect. I would have done a white crank and white bars, but this is why they make chocolate and vanilla.

I hope they produce it.
