    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    Totally amazing. Martini must surely rate as some of the best ever graphics? Not certain about the 'porsche' element - but I guess if it's a tribute to those cars/livery then it has to be. I'm thinking plain balck wheels.

    Talking about best ever race team colours. For me;

    1/. Martini (Lancia esp)
    2/. GULF (a la pale blue/orange GT 40's)
    3/. BMW Motosport

    Really, really amazing. I tend to associate Martini more with the Lancia Delta Integrale, than Porsche, but still... ...great effort!

    great job (really like the two tone paint job too near the start of the process)

    only negative is the porsche stickers, looks a bit naff IMO

    Fantastic bike - one or two touches like the Porsche stuff wouldn't be my choice but even so for what it is it's really done well. Be interesting to see what wheels he goes for.

    Maybe we should have a prize for best bike at every race !

    WHile I can appreciate the desire and effort that went into it, not really a fan of it. I suppose if you ride for a Martini sponsored team it's great, but otherwise I think there are better ways to make a Shiv frame look good.

    FWIW - I tried to get a UCI legal version of the frame to race on this year - but you can't get them. Makes you wonder about those UCI rules that say equipment in use must be publicly available!

    I still haven't sported the boat yet.

    Love the Martini Porsche 917 so would really like one of these but missed out on the 117m Euromillions so have to keep saving up I guess

    Baum have done a frame in Martini colours, to match the Ducati theme apparently. Also done a Gulf Racing one. Scroll down the page here
