First, I thought that you did well with the paint scheme. I once built a frame for a guy in Texas who wanted to do his own blue/ orange colors. I tried to tell him to manage the orange. He went crazy, ended up painting the entire forks orange and about 40% of the frame as well. It was so ugly, I could never put it on my website. I just thought that you showed admiral restraint with the orange. As far as classy names; Medici. Ferrari Colnago. Santini, Capri, Sartello, Pinerello, Maserratti, Ferrazzi, Sarazello, Gisello. I owned a Trek dealership in California and I had some of my Ravello frames on the wall when Bill Murray came in and bugged me about the Ravellos, since he had just spent nine months in Ravello shooting a movie and he latched onto the fact that I had not ever been there. Side note; Thank you for being so polite with me. I do not recommend posting on the randoneering or training forums. I raced all three years as a junior and four years as a 1/2 pro and have help coach some teams,but the people on those forums are the biggest clueless trolls that I have had the misfortune of encountering. (nasty) Some of those names I fabricated. If you want more I would be willing to help. This is my opinion. Just think if you walked into a bike shop and saw a BAHL V.S.a SARTELLO (for instance) which seems more appealing? Maybe you just feel comfortable wtith BAHL? Maybe you hate Italian names? Anyways - good luck.
