What's not to like? Your title says it all.

I have a full campy black veloce group and an awesome set of campy proton wheels from robbietunes. Black stem,bars and seatpost.

just love the colour. But yeah, I'm biased. Been seeing a lot of orange this februari.

It's gonna be very cool.

Cool seat post

I think the color looks great.

The pic is a little grainy, so I can't quite see the detail.

By the time you get the decals installed, windows filled and multiple layers of clear you'll be good to go.

Just stay the course.

I don't see how you can miss with this nice bicycle. :)

Are you having second thoughts about the color?

I was thinking the Gazelle would look great in this color if you haven't already purchased the jet black.

I like it.

Haven't seen one before.

It's staying orange, I was expecting
a little lighter orange. But I think I will like it.
Pic was with my cell phone. I will get a better one.
and I haven't got the black yet.

That's gonna look great and it will look lighter outside in daylight I bet.

better pics..

You did a really great job cleaning up that frame. It will be a looker when it is finished. Nice work.

Thanks, the frame certainly was a mess. I put about 12 coats of primer on it and sanded off 9. Frame had lots of pits. The internal rear brake cable caps were a pain, first time I've tried anything like that.

Oh yeah, that works. Nice job, it the paint looks that nice and smooth now, it will be awesome when you're finished with it.

Did I miss the kind of paint used - Looks fantastic...

Looks nice! You seem to have sprayed your stand as well.

I really want an orange bike. Looks great.

What color are you filling the windows with?

Thanks, I always use duplicolor lacquer paint shop system from autozone. Can't say enough about the stuff.

Man, that's some nice work! Can't wait to see the finished build

looks great!! pretty darn close to the pic i sent you. can't wait to see it finished.

thanks everyone, to be honest, i needed some reassurance of the color. at first i was a little upset at the shade. the can showed a much lighter orange. now that i have been looking at it all day, and i just finished painting the panto's on the forks and seatstays, I'm starting to like it. i think once its wetsanded and decals with tons of clear i think it will look just fine.

I had my Brooks (local builder) fixed gear bike painted orange as a "merckx tribute".
