Chuck can make up anything you want. I provided the graphics, so he has them. I had another McLean shirt made with a much bigger logo. The small logo seems to be more in the McLean sensibility. Next time, bigger again? I'm not a fancy guy, I ride mostly in a t-shirt and baggy khakis. My body is no longer presentable in tight clothes.
The paint has to be touched to be appreciated. Kvale does nice work. Frankly, his frames are every bit as sweet as a McLean is too. Which, of course, is subjective.
