That paint job is distinctive but tasteful. I used to ride an orange and white Basso, until it cracked along a weld. I liked the Basso's paint job, but it had a certain "circus" quality to it. Your paint job also stands out, but looks very nice indeed.

Actually the IF Crown Jewel retails for around $1000 or so less than that depending on the build kit. However the IF Ti Crown Jewel does sell for around $6500 with a build pretty much comprable to the one on this bike.
On this one I only bought the frame, fork and headset from IF. Everything else I bough from my lbs with the exception of the wheels. They came from Mike at www.oddsandendos.com .
