Looking good.

I'm thinking of doing the same thing with my S-Works CX.
Some racing orange or some other crazy color.

I must say, that looks pretty sweet. I just picked up an old hardrock that I was thinking of turning into a hybrid commuter. I'm not too sold on the color of it though. I'd be thrilled if it looked like yours. My only question is how you got the specialized logo back on it? I'd paint mine in a heartbeat, but then it would be a blank anonymous frame. I'd like to keep the specialized badging on it if I could.
