About your frame color...
That color is rad! A friend of mine has a Bianchi frame (that he thinks is fruity) the same color and I'm thinking of buying it and building it up. It's a good safety color if nothing else!
what did you use to shellac them... just standard home depot stule shellac ? did it make the grips less comfortable ?
