Progress is slow but all decals are now in the right place. Waiting for the ordered crankset and brakes...

That's a lot of celeste, but it's hot.

This is gorgeous. Celeste is always my favourite color for bikes and you sure know how to play with this color. Show us more pics! Maybe throw in some celeste side wall tires too?

Maybe you can have some rims painted and custom wheels made? Or is that going too far?

Not that it will matter once it's taped, but why is only the left drop painted on the handle bar?

The paint on the drops is just some surplus from the spray painting. Only the top of the bars have a full coat. Installed BB cups (Record), headset (Record), crankset (Chorus) and bottle cages (Chorus) today.

eh...way too much celeste for my taste. maybe if the saddle and the bar tapes were black I could handle it.

and way too many decals/name spammage on it. but then again most my bikes have had their names removed from the frame so i might just be used to that.

I admit, it is pretty eye catching though

how much that paint job set u back?
