Pictures of the color from Mitch's Flickr page below. I love it. I think it's
called Black Currant Pearl. I'll put a link for the PPG paint tool also. It's
really neat. It's based on auto colors, so if you knew the make and year of a
car color you like you can pull it right out.

Maybe someone can enlighten me? When I floated an Imron color (from Eric's
campy only site) to Mitch Pryor for my new rando bike, he told me it was no
longer available due to the toxicity of the paint. He uses PPG paint, and I
chose my color from their online tool. I was looking for a deep, meta

Interesting. I trust that Mark knew what he was doing. It shifts
flawlessly and to get the cables to rub on the headtube would require
a very sharp turn if the bars which would likely result in bigger

Beautiful bike.
When the time comes for touch-up paint, try Autocolor Service in
Oregon, telephone 1-866-672-8201. Autocolor's House of Kolor touch-up
paints are made to brush on, match perfectly, and look much better
than touch-up paints that are made to spray on.
Enjoy the bike.

Thanks for all the kind words everybody. I love the color too. It's

I recall waiting a similar length of time for my All-Rounder (I

later I'm still enjoying the bike.
