>>>Kuhl! When it comes time to get it painted, I want to do a metal flake orange, rather than just the stock orange. Could be along time before that happens, though. :(

>>I hear ya, Fred. A good paint job today is outrageous. At the time I painted this bike, I just went to NAPA and asked what they had cheap. $40 a quart for Omaha Orange. On it went ;-) 2 weeks ago I checked with our local bike artist on a straight color job, maybe a couple of decals, and I'd do all the strip/prep work - $1000. Can't imagine what he'd do a cage for - boggles the mind.

>I've not gotten an actual estimate from anyone yet, but with talking with friends that have had it done, it appears it will be $6K to $20K. $3500+/- if I do the prep work. Yikes!
