Thanks. The frame is an unpainted CamelsBack frame from NYCBikes. It's Al, and the fork is Cromoly. I had my auto body shop paint it (their first) with $100/pint pearlescent paint. They prepped the frame, hit it with primer, black coat, top coat, and clear coat. It was their first and possibly last. The paint sample shone like Dorothy's ruby slippers but Ruby came out rather bland. I've gotten a lot of bike related stuff over the last 3 years and I've wanted to recreate a stingray style bike (and get a frame painted) for at least a couple years. This spring I bought and flipped 8 bikes from the spring community sale and the profits paid for Ruby.
