Well I for one gave a greater look-see at your bike, Scott, that is to say, I merely saw an orange bike before, and now, after actually looking at each pic, enlarged, I do-see what you-see, morely or lessly, and I'd be proud too, if I didn't like black bikes more than I like orange bikes. :)

Ultra very nice lining, ultra very nice seat-stay cap styling, ultra very nice tube graphics.

Know what? If I owned the bike, I'd have to highjack the top-o-the-hoods and switcheroo 'em into something more hand-friendlier. Or would that upset some quasi-legal world? Would that contravene period correctness protocol?
