Thanks... I think it took about a month or so. I dremelled off a bunch of excess bits and cleaned up the handful of minor surface rust spots. After sanding off most of the original paint (over a bunch of evenings) the frame got a good priming, 2 coats of charleston green, and 2 coats of "satin" non gloss clear coat for a matte finish. With the exception of the clear coat sagging a little around the BB it turned out pretty nice for my first try at all this painting stuff.

The hardest part was giving the BB and headset some needed TLC and having a garage helped with all the painting fumes

The wife even told me she was impressed at how nice it ended up.. always a good sign!

yesterday I saw this tall blonde athletic young lady riding no hands on her brakeless track bike at surprising speeds through traffic. She was wearing what looked like a paisley full length skirt. It was a special moment for me.

PS. keith, any word on the rear brake? I found a source for decent ones...

It's so much easier for women. Not only do you have FAR more selection, but you also have the ability to keep your wits about you. I practically lose my mind and just fall over anytime I see an attractive young lady on a bike. Seriously, girl bike geeks are the absolute best. Christ, I'm swooning and I don't even have anyone in mind at the moment.

Edit: remember the Campy girl craigslist posting? I had MULTPILE customers come by the shop and mention that.

i dated a bike messenger for a while, and while it was nice to have someone to ride with all the time, the whole bike punk thing was a little too over the top. something about watching him grease the chain though....

it would be nice if my current boyfriend rode though. he drives everywhere, and when we're walking around, he points at every bike that goes by, mocking me and going, "FIXIE?!"

Hmm... Looks like you have a real winner there...

Does he run out of breath when you guys go for a walk?

j/k

i envision operator using his ninja skills and sweet almond thighs to put him in a headlock, and then snap his neck with a mere trembling ripple of his humungous quads.

I emailed the Campognola dude. He told me that it was spelled correctly, as in Italian, Rome is Roma. I emailed back and suggested that campognolo is a brand name, and whether they are sold in Italy, France or the US, the name is the same.

Early morning mtn bike ride on Sunday: Meet at the Pottery Rd trailhead @ 9:00. Weather permitting: potential rain in the forecast and the don is not pretty when wet (not to mention trail damage potential).

cavernmech: if you're talking to Bradyn, let him know.
i_brad: I finally got over The Evil Root last night.. ever since that one spill there I haven't gotten over it. Rode smooth like butter last night... felt good.

Also, I have the golf clubs from Pyze. If anyone (Brad? Ronin?) wants to make some polo mallets, let me know.

The old Avid seems to be holding up. You can come by at the end o the day for it if you like.
