...My frame is now too pretty to put the old crappy parts back on it.

I love the way that the color changes in the different lights. The color is Blue Jean with Golden Wiffle (
Wiffle! Who comes up with these names?). This guy's going to be my future touring bike. Thinking maybe some creme Schwalbe Delta Cruisers and some maroon cloth bar tape will do this frame some good.
As you can see in the last picture, the idiot that owned the bike before me decided to saw off the cantilever bosses so they could use sidepulls. I guess it was rusted under the paint because now there's a small hole in my frame.
It's like the previous owner tried to deliberately sabotage this great bike. I'm thinking of maybe putting a little superglue over it to seal it.
