I am gonna break it down and get her powder coated. Just don't know what color yet. I have a good powder coater I deal with here in Tucson. I visioned this bike looking very cleaned up with smooth lines. A quick bike to zip around on for pleasure. My Giant Rapid is my workout/commute bike so I wasn't trying to get high performance out of the paramount. I wanted something low maintenance and with smooth lines for fun.
