Update:
It's taking a while because they have to powdercoat the frame then wet paint the fork. It's due to be finished maybe next week and I'll take delivery the week after. But, he usually sends a pic of the frame right before it ships. So, I won't keep you guys hanging till I build it up. So, when that pic comes, I'll announce a winner...if there is one. I haven't kept up with the entries. Not sure if anyone has guessed the right color yet.

OK, guys. Last chance. The bike is done. The pic from the builder should arrive any minute now.
So, if you haven't guessed, please do so. If you want to change your guess, you must DELETE your previous guess and vote at the back of the thread. ANY edited posts (for whatever reason) will not be considered. Only 1 vote per person.
The first dead-on guess wins. If no one has the exact color, the closest color in my opinion wins.

i'm sticking to my color of 1970's (poop) brown. Just wanted to repost it because I got a good feeling that I'm right.

Here it is. Matte White with Thomson X4 stem and Alpina Wing Pista fork painted to match.
These were the closest:
And the winner is....because he's closest...
"Glossy white" was so close, but "cocaine white" is closest especially being that cocaine is matte...or so I've seen in the movies.
homebrewk, I'll hook you up with some gear, too. Let me look around. Want some Nitto B125AA in 36, 38, or 40?
