I posted almost two months ago before you got here, so ya did miss it. The paint I thought long and
hard about. I got a two color fade that follows the 'Team' paint job lines where the yellow and
black meet up. The top/front is the quetzal green metallic, and the bottom/rear is metallic black.
The fade will be real tight, as in not fanning out much where the colors meet. Decals are yellow on
black. It's either going to look great, or butt ugly I think. I'll post some shots when I get it.

Congrats on doing well with the clipless. They take some getting used to. Being in Louisiana, I have
to drive a ways to get to some hills. I have ridden some steep ones that kicked my butt, so I know
what you mean. Going out, riding, and getting better 'is' riding it like it was meant to.

A couple of my online friends from up your way have taken the tour. They both said they are very
nice, and cool peeps. I look forward to hearing about your visit, and please post some pictures of
your bike.
