This is my good ol' Voss, nothing particularly brilliant, if it weren't for these wonderful Ghisallo rims. Wooden rims do have a sense. They are quite light and ultra comfortable. Other nice features are CK headset and the Mizuno forks. The crankset is a really rare 175mm FRM.

I really, really like that - the wooden rims are beautiful in their own right but look particularly good next to that titanium frame. I don't know anything about Voss - were they a Italian frame builder?
 
Yes, but the quality was very far from what you'd expect from an Italian builder. The ride is good, tho. Really, really comfortable.

And the polished finish looks ace.
