Ready Thyself for The Church Burner

Our friend Eman is one of those people everyone wishes they were born as: a genius who needs only to pick up a knife and sauté pan to make delicious food at the second-best-rated restaurant in SF; who needs only to start moving his hips and become a swing dance instructor; who needs only to pick up a torch and pieces of tubing to make the most amazing bike ever.

This is The Church Burner, so named by myself for the purpose of this post because when Eman debuted it on SFFixed, the discussion developed into a playful conversation about how its new owner, Mia, should give it a name.. and, well, the frame lends itself to darkness. Someone designed a sticker that says "this bike is a church burner" in gothic font, playing on the famous 'this bike is a pipe bomb' sticker. The best comment by far on the thread was by Mia, saying that she'll have to give up posting to the internet because she'll have to write everything in blood from now on. If you're not into bikes or into death metal (somehow the two go together like bread and butter), it may fall a little flat for you. I'm sure you have fascinating interests, but I'm not sure if we can continue being friends if you don't appreciate bikes and death metal.

Anyway, now you should be sufficiently prepared:
So yeah, Eman just whips this stuff out. We're all mystified. Pretty soon we'll all voluntarily worship him as a god and he can add Cult Leader to his already-impressive list of accomplishments. Next in his queue should be bike painting: D+D in San Lorenzo did this frame beautifully, though.
