BEFORE

When I first saw this bike, I was intrigued because of the unusual groupset and the quality frame but I thought it was priced way too high for the amount of work it needed so I passed.  I just couln't get it out of my mind, though, and a year later, I contacted the seller to see if it was still available.  We settled on a reasonable price and I brought it home.  I can't wait until the weather warms up so I can give it a fresh new paint job and turn it into a work of art. 

AFTER

I love white frames with black lettering so I decided to give this frame a pearl white paint that I think will look amazing with the black in the decals, wheels and groupset.
