Very nice, but I'm surprised you didn't change the color since you were going to all the trouble of painting it anyway.

Speaking of wives, I bought a used cyclocross frame on ebay recently and was hoping the seller would let me pick it up since he lives close by. However, he refused to allow that and shipped it instead. My wife saw the package on the front porch and the interrogations began. I was totally planning to sell another frame and parts to fund the purchase, but my wife demanded proof. By the time I ended up selling the frame and other parts, I actually came out ahead on the deal, so my wife is OK for now -- but she still thinks I pulled something over on her.
