It took awhile, but the shade grew on me; it also varies in depth with different lighting. The blue seems to look more and more like it should stay the more I look at the bike!

Congrats on gluing up your first - hopefully you will feel better and get a chance to test it out tomorrow. Which tire did you end up mounting?
