When I decided to have the 1959 Capo painted, CyclArt was the hometown team, located within 15 miles of my house. I had already met Jim and Susan, seen the shop, and even ridden with them.

They applied a Cat II finish in 2003, using their stock red color, charging a very reasonable $75 add-on for the white head tube panels. I have been delighted with the result, with the small exception that the C in the CAPO downtube graphic is of too modern a font, although it does look nice. Sorry, CyclArt detractors -- I am a fan.

(Also shown are two shots of the Montana-based bike whose color scheme I copied. I suppose I could have fraudulently used them as "before" pictures. )
