sweet. They are coming. Few more weeks.
I hope the Blue looks a little darker in person, but they came out looking really good. I'll be puttin a different fork in though.

yeah the blue looks a little green in that photo, but it could easily just be the photo.
i gotta say, i feel a little bad for the thousand or so people who have posted about what cheap frameset they should get yet either weren't around or were living under a rock when we all got such a SWEET deal

And also, its not only the fact that its gloss, but there are no decals at all. As other members said it might turn out supper clean. Still waiting for the builds...

Man that "San Rensho Blue" is pretty underwhelming after all the debate that went into choosing it.
