These pictures are beautiful - incredible work!
I have a question about deanodizing and polishing aluminum parts - that pretty much commits you to a lifetime of periodic re-polishing, doesn't it? Do you have a feel for how often you'll need to re-polish the parts if the bike is kept indoors?

OK I think she is basically done. I think I achieved the "sinister elegance" look I was going for. I know it is just a bike. But I think it turned out well and showcases the two individuals work well. This was by no means a flashy JP Weigle paint job but it is a very Weigle-ish color and very striking to my eyes. Here are some quick pics taken in golden hour light. I'll probably do a separate pics thread.

Oh seat post is just at minimum insertion right now. Didn't want to risk scratching visible area until I can get on it and ride it (too much snow right now).

Paint infill on frame and fork maybe change to black from yellow? Will think about it. Otherwise still need to refresh frame infill pain.

That looks great, good choice on rims and tape. IMO the yellow F/F infill works well.
It’s a beaut, Clark.
