Dude I know, the $1200 estimate kinda freaked me out. What if I scratch it?! (That's an inside shoutout to a friend who knows how OCD I am about scratches and mocks me mercilessly for it).
I don't actually know the price either - I just paid the full frame-with-paint cost - but every dollar is visible. The attention to detail on those cream lines in and around the lugs will make your eyes water. Pure art, Joe Bell is the master. I waited 30 years to get one of his masterpieces since first discovering him in Bicycle Guide, and I don't recommend the wait. You got a bike that needs paint? Send it to Joe, pay whatever he asks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
