The frame itself is nice, but that paint looks like 90's-era sponge-painting. Yuck. To misquote Johnny Cash, "When I have a Pinarello of my own, I'm going to paint it blue or red or white or black -- anything but neon splatter!"

As a secondary point, that frame actually is my size, or at least the size that everyone keeps telling me I should be riding. But the bike I'm building up now has a center-to-center seattube length of about 20.5" (which works out to, what, 52.07cm?) and the standover height seems to be about right. I've got a (bare feet on the) floor-to-bone inseam of about 33" (83.82cm), and the overall standover height on this frame (without tires) is about 29" (73.66cm).

Does this seem strange to anyone else, or am I just crazy and working with a too-small frame?
