AZORCH: Does yours have a code etched at the bb? mine says G62.
JULS: Where did you get those decal? I had gray in my mind but i might just leave it bare as it is if it's really made out of gaspipe. Budget running low, so it will be for awhile before i have enough $ for paint. BTW did you DIY the paint job yourself? I like the chrome ends = )
