casran, if you like it, buy it.....but you might want something toned down a bit....i think painting the wheels like a cheetah is going a bit far.

I think that the paintbrusher is skilful, but it's a vote for 'no' here on the cheetah scheme - the word for it is 'gaudy'. IMO I won't do that to anything branded CS/LW, not after having spent for sexy carbon weaves.

Yes Bling Bling like a PIMP. You could ride round on it when you get your money off your hoes.
If Huggy Bear off Starsky and Hutch rode a bike....

Perhaps some platform cycling shoes and a big feather in your helmet too.

:lol:

I think it's more Gimp My Ride than Pimp My Ride.

If you do that I'll come round and slap you myself :wink: . Rather than defacing your obies bring them round to me and I'll swop them for a pair of wheels that look totally different :wink:

I was searching for some exclusivity this time... :roll: But you could have a nice paint job on your "old" Paris and Obies indeed. Remember Stefan to give me the contact info!

C'mon Nick, dont be like that. Can you honestly not see the beauty in the paint scheme? Individuality is what counts and I'm sure both yourself and tommyb will be impressed when I turn up on the finished article in my first race next season.

Where is Stefan Casran? You sent him a pm on this right?

This is a joke, a conspiracy between Casran and LJ to wind everyone up. It must be. :?

You know I'm joking Lee. Airbrushed frames are OK I liked Simonis spider one and someone else in Saeco had a leopard or similar. But the wheels just look well. They look worse than my Carbon Cosmics with all the yellow stickers. :oops:

No hurry on this thing. I heard Stefan Tuesday and I know he's busy on all kind of things. I will take my time for this paint project and would like to have it finished for the start of the 2007 season... meanwhile I would like to know the thoughts of other WWs.
