Sexy. Finally complete. 
Idk about you guys but the decals in this case really complete the bike IMO. If you're wondering how your bike would look without them, it's a couple clicks in photoshop away.

Should I sell my Gibson Flying V on Craigslist to fund a Chinese frame road build (Cervelo S3 style frame with Campy Veloce components)? I have 13 guitars/basses at the moment and the V is my newest so I have the least connection to it but it's still a sweet guitar.

do you have an explorer?
i wouldn't get rid of a v unless i had a real explorer. then i'd drop it like haute fyah
hell, i can't even play more than power chords but i'd stil rather have an explorer than a chinese carbon veloce group build.
maybe a real S3 would be worth getting rid of a gibson...

. Getting rid of a Gibson isn't an issues as I would still have my '61 re-issue SG and my LP Custom.Is the Veloce group bad? I've only ever had Shimano (600 and 105) or Sram (Rival) groups on my bikes.
