Nice red! I like that satiny finish--reminiscent of the finish on my first "real," road bike, a '93 Trek 1100...

I don't think he quite knew how to take that, because he kept asking if I'd be ok with some shade of blue, or red, etc. But I really didn't give a damn. I knew that it would look nice in any number of colors, and that I wasn't going to lose sleep if it wasn't the perfect shade of metallic puce. In the end he selected a color from his stock, which had been used on another frame he painted, which I liked. I'm happy with it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/twowheelflight/3601726415/ On Oct 13, 11:13 am, mushmash <mushm...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello All, > > Compliments to all who post in this forum.
