Back from the painters !

Well it was a three month wait to get it into the painters (Hot Tubes) and as always they never disappoint me. Now it's just waiting for the remaining parts for the build to come in. I have a little twist set-up for this build and can't wait to get it finished. Not sure if I'll beat the snow, but we'll give it a shot.

I had a much better bike cave before I sold my house last year. Now I rent this little garage which is about a mile from where I presently live.

No boats, but he does do goalie mask, and catchers masks.

Haha. I wonder what that protrusion on the down tube is for?

Beautiful job. How much, if it’s not an impolite question?

There is more to the paint job than what you see. There is a saying on the top tube you can only see from a set angle, along with my cross head badge. Lets just say I had $6000 set aside for bike paint jobs (2) this year and still had almost $1500 in my pocket after both were done.

You don't think it's for a front derailleur?
