Ugh - this sticker just made the frame 10x more unappealing. I'm fine with an homage, but a counterfeit and/or claims of being identical are just a bridge too far.

What's the old expression about staying out of the kitchen if you can't stand the heat?

Yeah, because everyone has a custom filet brazed frame, that was actually made by Tom Ritchey. He liked the blue paint I selected so much that it became a stock color the next year.

BTW, those are Speedplay Zero road pedals.

No doubt.

And if his knowledge of pedals is any indication, he probably thinks Tom Ritchey is the former co-front man for the for funk band the Commodores.
