In due time :) I'm still think of what components to on her. Yes, the paint is delicate. I like the rough look though. I was thinking of getting it repainted.

everyone has urged me NOT to get mine repainted... i saw pics of the frame from your blog :P

mine is chewed up a lot more.. which gives me great leeway with using parts that also chewed up (aka cheeper)

I'm usually not a big fan of risers... or Brooks saddles, but this pulls it off perfectly. Where'd you manage to find such a great frame?

Get a nice car wax and cover the frame. Italian paint is known to be fragile. Looks good loved like this but the wax should help keep whats left.
