Frame is currently with Kevin, who marveled at the wonderful paint job and is reluctant to undo such a masterpiecec (*sarcasm*).

This thing is like a damn jaw breaker.....you sand through a color and don't know what new color you will find underneath lol. Should look sweet when it's done. I'll post some progress pics here as I go.

You have uncovered something beautiful under the ugly pink dress. Looking really nice! Are you going Etap on this bike build?

This got outsourced to our own Kevin @ Cryptic so not exactly a home job.

@godzuki This'll get mechanical Red since it's lighter. Kevin is going to finish the parts with similar touches.

I may need your services as well! I just got a SSEVO Hi-mod 56cm.
I wonder how much I can shave off from sanding and doing a simple clear on it?
I'll start a build thread, as I've been getting parts for this frame..
Can't wait to see Ryan's build!

I think for the effort to strip this frame is just worth the reward but that is just me.
