Picked up my frameset from the coater yesterday. Did my 2 hour ride, ripped down dinner then shot over to Marty's to press the headset. I was going to wait, but I think I'm morally obligated to share this here, now.
The color is perfect. I'm going to have black vinyl decals cut - open to head badge decal ideas. I still have a couple weeks of part collecting to do but hopefully I'll have this pretty together soon!
The pink is so bright the iPhone camera sensor really struggles to capture it.

That headset is a brown Chris King Sotto Voce which I saw at Marty's Randolph for a few years before buying it finally last spring. I knew I'd be saving it for a very special future build and this is it.
Saddle is a SDG Duster in razzle dazzle, Ti rail. Same saddle that's on the Wraith, different color scheme.
I'd like to get a Thompson set back on there and try and sell the straight x.4 and pick up a 10deg x.4 - it's 100mm straight brand new and only mounted to keep my fork on if anyone is interested $70 in Morristown, still have the bag.
Very much excite.
I also sat down with the 2016-17 UCI schedule and started populating my calendar for the fall.

There is a fellow named Rich in Morristown, right behind Washington's headquarters. "Custom Power Coating" no website, cool dude, FAST turn around once you pick a color. Would use again.That's veddy pretty indeed. Can't wait to see what you wear it with, you bespoke nightmare.
BTW, who did the powder coating?

did you paint shop the cookie top cap or is that for sale?Looks like that pink doughnut stem cap... If I may make a suggestion - incorporate graphics or something that resembles the doughnuts sprinkles
On the note of that doughnut step cap... Saw a girl at Ramsey's race wearing a kit with that doughnut on it.
Edit - put a lil more effort into my response
