David Byrne’s bike at Met Gala
Not a bad build. Belt drive seems like a sensible choice with the white suit.

Anyone got an ID on that frame? Looks a little like a ti Retrotec.

Noticed another picture, those tires definitely used, so not just a "show" bike.

Hope he tipped the coat check well...

Pretty sure those aren't garden variety Chucks either.
I read his book found it pretty good.
