That is an astonishingly expensive sentence!

But... Yeah. Every time I think I can just cheap it out, I think "The Pro deserves it." Ya know, some few very skilled hands spent the better part of a day putting this frame together. I like to think of them as good, decent men, hardworking chaps who enjoyed a pint at the end of the day before going home to their families and enjoying the fruits of a hard day's work. I feel like I don't want to disappoint them.

This bike gets the best I can give it. My frame painter has agreed to do a spectrograph color-match and touchup the paint after I roll the dent out of the top tube. Thankfully, it's not in the decal area.

Hopefully Reg and Charlie and our Billy, that daft ol' sod, would approve.
