The Chesini Innovation arrived today from France.

I took a few phone pics (still better than the Ebay pics).

The blue is deep/purplish and might be a bear to match easily for touch-ups. The panto fill is more gold than yellow (hard to capture in phone photos), so I think I'll nix the idea of yellow tape and saddle...maybe Jagwire gold cabling.

There are some scratches and chips to fix. The chrome is good, but the paint on the drop-outs is quite beat...I'm thinking I will just strip them to chrome...???

Thoughts?
