hi Mike,

The bike is beautiful! Glad to hear that you are out on the bike again and having fun. A paint job from Brian is certainly going to add that extra bit of joy.

I've always loved the idea of painting the pump just like the seat tube, but it seemed like a lot of work. I can only hope that the rainbow stripes that are at the ends of the contrasting red panel are decals instead of requiring masking for each color and black stripe!

Gorgeous bike! Good to know that it's on the road again.
