Well done. That pinstriping is so dang cool.

Thanks Jesse! I'm pretty stoked about it. I do think it is Reynolds 531. It is super light for a big frame like this. I think it's a 60cm or 62cm which makes it a teensy big for me, but for what I paid I don't much care.

I can hardly wait to figure out which IGH I'll be converting it to. I figure I can the sell the piece of **** Campy derailleurs to finance a really nice internal gear hub.
