For those of you who wanted to see pictures....

We finally got frames back from our painter last night and here's one of the first builds. This SRAM Red example came in at 14 pounds, 5 ounces without pedals and cages. For some reason he couldn't get the clear on the bare seat stays to stop bubbling so we had to paint over them. Anyways, here's a few pictures. Sorry for the not so good photography. Lighting was bad and my digital camera skills are not that great. You get an idea though.

Oh, and since the entire frame was painted (no bare carbon showing) you cannot see the glued sections of the frame or the unidirectional finish. That's unfortunate. We are hoping the next batch of frames don't have the same problem.

I prefer a subtle but classy paint scheme over a rolling billboard...



Enjoy.
