For the paint job, when you say custom, is this factory, or what someone has had done after?
As an addition, if you are riding this, replace the brake cable outer, you can see this has severe corrosion issues in the middle top photo.
The guy I bought it from was the original owner and actually had his name painted on the frame as well... not sure if the factory or shop he bought it from did the paint job.
I'm still looking into seeing if I can change anything up for it to be ride-able for me. I really like the bike and would put the time/money into re-paint/renovation if I could make it work. Currently, there's just too much shoulder/neck pain for me to want to deal with it.
Oh, and thanks for the head's up on the cable outer.
