Between the metallic gold and the metallic green found on the early 70s models, they're both just gorgeous. I have a plain sky blue, plain bright orange, both early 70s, and a bare frame I need to (finally) paint this year but I haven't been able to decide on a color yet.

Totally under-valued frame, considering what I paid for all three of the ones I've bought in the last decade. One of the only bikes I own multiple frames of. My only gripe is they used a super-cheapo rolled steel tube for the brake bridge. the stay bridges are the only single thing I would change about the TdF/SC frameset to make them look as high-end as they feel.

The repro decals are OK. Honestly, though, I think the foils look cheap as hell. The only stickers that don't look cheap are the fork decal, the hand, the Reynolds stickers, and the head decal isn't horrible but foil just has a cheapo vibe to it for me. I have a couple of downtube decals on-hand, but not sure I'll ever use them.
