I finally got my painted tins back. Kit, over at DropBars (www.DropBars.com) painted it for me. I originally set about painting it myself, but I got really bored with the endless sanding. So I tossed a little money Kit's way and gave him complete creative control. Actually, that's not entirely true. I explained to him what i was going to do, then he just took it from there.

I'm extremely happy with the results. The graphics you see is paint--with the exception of the tiny text. The bike is very close to riding, so perhaps this week I'll get to fire her up.
