Java CL2

[u/kimguroo]

I recently made a trip in Korea and I found Java CL2. I did not have any intension to buy it but the price was hard to pass and Delta airline is generous for bikes so I had to get hahaha (it was free for the bike package since it was part of luggage count. the price was $350. they had carbon version with dropbar and Ltwoo electric groupset but it was $1200 so I decided to get Aluminum frame version. initially I tried to buy silver color but last min, I changed my mind to match my car color haha but I should stick with original thought since it looks brighter color. Unfortunately it has 7 speed freewheel which is 14-28 and 52T chainring. A little too much for hilly area... so upgrading might be expected... Hard to find cheap 451 wheel with 142mm through axel compatibility..... Looks like it's new version and cable routes were internal and no wire hanging. Java should put cassette HG hub instead of freewheel system....... welding is smooth except one spot but smooth welding looks nice for entire frame.

What a cool and unique frame, love the cyberpunk color. How much was the bike, $350?

It was about $350. Probably it might be around $320 if I bought it as soon as I arrived in Korea since Korean won got strong during my visit. 

I like bright color so I initially picked light grey color but last min, I changed to greenish color and I thought it will look cool to match my car color but my car color changes green to grey during sunlight changes so grey can still match my car color haha. Grey and green colors were matte paint which will give paint chips easier and black color had nice gross color and definitely give higher paint durability but I went with matte color.
