The paint job is nice, though perhaps too flashy for my tastes (though I do have a bike with neon pink fade & blue splatters
). Reminds me of some early 90s Colnagos. Do you have any additional close-ups of the frame details (head tube lugs, head badge, BB shell, dropouts, fork crown, brake bridge)?
Thanks. Yeah, the frame does appear well built to me also. It has some nice touches, as you mentioned, and it also has two braze-on's for the shifter cables on the head tube that I didn't get in the pictures. Yes, the paint is a bit loud, but it seems to work pretty well, and with the yellow walled tires, yellow tape and cables...well it will be an eyeful!
I'll try and get close-ups soon.

Perhaps a moderator can fix it for you.
I cannot believe I did that! Doh! I've been looking at this frame nearly everyday for a month, you think I would get it right! Yes, mods if you can fix it, thanks!
