Miami Vice in DC

Just finished this for a customer in DC who wanted something 56cm with a long-ish top tube and 'very brightly colored'. I showed him a picture of Robbie's frame for sale and it was love at first sight.

Build is Shimano 105 FD/RD's with an FSA Gossamer compact crank (square taper) and a Sugino cup N' cone BB (so smooth), Tektro brakes and levers, Modolo bars and a Selle Italia seat. 9 speed D-A downtuube shifters with a 12/23 D-A cassette. Those are Michelin Lithion 2's on Mavic rims laced to Origin8 hubs (I think they're the same as Alex and Formula). Nashbar wrap isn't quite the same yellow as the seat tube, cable housing and saddle, but it's close. Tried to use black components against the yellow wherever possible to make it pop.

Rides real nice.
