Great job Brent, thanks. Just amazing what you can do! And the color rocks too. I find myself looking down to check it out while I'm on a ride.
Katryn was right calling it a "complex" color. It has many different tones depending on the light. source page —m

Thanks to Brent and Katryn for 30 years of amazing workmanship and customer support for cyclists who appreciated the palplable magic of riding a custom bike.
COMMENTS:
I could probably have done all I needed to with Joe by phone and email, but there’s nothing quite like being in the room with a person you dig. Similarly, I could probably have been in and out in a half hour, but I enjoyed the phone calls and other interruptions that gave me a chance to poke around a bit and get a look at a sticker collection I hadn’t seen in 10 years.
