The paint process took way too long and I dont love the end result of clearcoat as it isnt as even/smooth as I hoped, but its an amateur job so it is what it is.
I have to cable the thing and toss it on my trainer to dial in the fit still.
Thats awesome!
Nice paint job.
My first really road bike was a Caad 4 but it was too small. Wish I kept it.
