Hows the celeste paint on the frame? If I remember correctly, there was a Specialissma rider that had complained over how hard it was to clean the bike because of the matte celeste.

i also got told the cleaning was a bit hectic - this from a owner of a Specialissma, hence i went for the full gloss - 1D colour scheme.( must say , i am not sorry and very happy with the 1D)
i too had the matt black and white XR - wasn't that difficult to clean, if you did it regularly. not a paint scheme to neglect tho - never used any special cleaner also - plain old furnisher polish worked for me

There isn't a 54. It's either 53 or 55?


55
