I finally got my frame back from Bilenkys Cycles in Philadelphia for the re-paint. It took 3 and a half months to do it poorly. I just got it out of there because I was afraid I might never see my frame again. I was sick with disappointment! I took it to a local powder coater and perfection came in just 10 days at only 2/3 the cost of paint! I will never have another frame painted if I can help it! The color is somewhat brighter in the pictures than it actually is since I cant shut the flash off on my camera. Its called metallic burgandy and looks closer to a grape color rather than the flat volvo maroon that it was but, close enough! Put on my velocal decals and here you go! Handlebars redone with cannondale leather wrap and brake levers switched to guilette? type. These are the bomb! If you come across a set on ebay buy them! They look cool and stop on a dime!

Dan,
Sorry to hear about your out of the gate disappointment with the first paint. There's no way you can feel that way now. Nice job!!!
I really like the uncluttered look of the bars with the 'Guidonnet' brake levers.

| Thanks! I am looking for a front rack as I botched up the original, so if you have any ideas, please let me know! I promise to take better pictures when finished! Sincerely, Dan |
