Boo, Sounds to me like you will be dipping into Dave's stash of discontinued original logo decals, the ones with the curving line and circles? Spoke to him a few weeks ago and I know he has a limited supply, so paint color matching would be determined by that to a certain extent. L-u-c-k-e-e-e!

Hey Vicki I found the general time frame with my actual build and paint.  Dave built my frame over a 5 day span and sent it out to Joe Bell on a Friday.  Joe Bell contacted me when the frame got in to his shop.  and it was just about 8 weeks from the time Dave finished the frame and sending it off to paint that it came to my door.

Thanks.  I was figuring about three months from today, so I'm not far off.

Those are my favs, but I didn't even know they existed.  Here's what I'm talking about.

I pulled in to a big box on the porch.

Best. Helper. Ever.  Well, he's cute, anyways.

Was trying to build before the sun went down... so didn't take pix of the in-between stuff, but when she was done.

So, I haven't installed pedals or taken it for a spin yet, but I need to upgrade the Front D, shifters, wheels, saddle, seatpost, stem, bar, brake pads (ok, brakes), Rear D, and paint.  Oh, and crank and chain, oh, and tyres.  The d-_-b way, no?

Of course, I'm busy from 8am-9:30pm tomorrow, and it's raining until Sunday, but I already have a Sunday ride planned with a buddy.  Can't wait to get out there!

Nice Brent! I am jealous. My shoulder is still fucked up (bicep tendonitis) so I can't even properly ride a spinning bike (meaning I can't hold onto the handlebars). What really sucks is that it is not going to get better until I stop teaching for the semester which means I am going to miss all of the nicest weather in Houston for biking, tennis, etc (this started last September just as my hip was getting better). I'm tired of being injured.
