"Oh" and my first ride with a Concor saddle. So comfy like sitting on the sofa watching TV all day.
That is a nice refinish on the bike. I think the treatment of the rear end of the bike works nicely with the subtle fade on the seat stays and chain stays, and the black headtube against the yellow paint. Overall a quite nice job on the bike.
