Been having the rotated letters in the logo for a good while before starting to show stuff, and I like it, especially on the bike. Joachim doesn't like it, and I've come to terms that it's too Rock Lobster-inspired and moved on. One of my favourite bike brands.
@frankenbike: Yes, good point about the fun bit. I do think that the cat should nail it, though, and the logotype should be a good support instead of making it too much.
Lots of good feedback here. Thanks all.

For the hardtail, hopefully before summer. We've just set up a mailing list for those that want to be the first to know. We'll probably do a mini earlybird run before taking normal orders. http://www.stribecycles.com/mailinglist/

I guess it's possible, but you would need some sort of transparent etching primer first. I think I'll chose a safer route to make sure there will be enough of a contrast. Could do satin or even matte finish on the paint if I decide to do masked out logos.
I decided on DT wheels by the way. Their XM 1501 in 30mm internal width. Came in at 1700gr, which is pretty decent. They do however have way too much graphics for my taste, and it is not possible to peel it of. I'm thinking of either to rattle-can them black or have the painter do them in the same go as the frame. Then I'd have to go black or charcoal. Would be cool to match the frame to the rims, but I was really set on having a colour on this bike. I don't like adding weight to the wheels, but I think it's better than those graphics.

Cheers. Jungle Products is our UK distributor (same that got Santa Cruz, KS etc). I'd check with them for nearest LBS. Or just order from http://www.sweetprotection.com directly.
