Did you talk to Spectrum about re-creating the decals as-is?

Frame is an EAI Bare Knuckle. I absolutely love it. As soon as I get my drops I'm going to hit up Alpenrose. Big thanks to Dean at Bike-Central in Portland.

And the decals will be from the unfriendly folks of yellow jersey, who will take me to the cleaners for $80 for a set of transfers, and then charge an additional $40 for the sticker sheet that has those stripey and elephanty stickers for the downtube.

sidenote 1: all small frames look slack. i wish i was taller.
sidenote 2: this is quite possibly the most kickin' ride i've ever been on. it's so hot. so fast.
sidenote 3: the frame is 49x50 and i love it. i think i really prefer to ride square frames. they fit so well.

After much research, I've decided she's going to Spectrum for powdercoating this week. So, these photos will be all I have (*sniff* *sniff*) until she returns.

It's a Bridgestone RB-1 with trackends and a new paint/decal job. Onto it is bolted the new wheelset I've been working on all week (Mavic T520 ceramic rims!). The front brake's gone and there's more work to be done here, some more that I've done tonight since I took the photo, but the updates will have to wait until I've downloaded the new photos.

Finally a bike I can get all 6'2" onto and haul. Thoughts?
