Yikes... it looks nice but those stamped dropouts and the crimped seatstay-dropout joinder don't give me good feelings.

Did you paint the leaves on yourself? Looks nice!

Wish i could take credit for hand painting them. I did the paint one fun-filled evening, turning my garage into a spray paint fume nightmare! The leaves are a rub on transfer, and there is various lettering on the bike, all covered in a few coats of clear. Holds up decent, but I'll most likely powder coat at some point. Thanks for the kind words. Next week I'm doing a second overhaul on it, pretty jazzed about it.
