Oooooh puhrty, this could be the start of a "let's see your Yellow Bike" thread.

Here she is getting put back together. Note the tiny Mavic logo on the top tube. Subtle, just like me ;-)

Oh, honey, she's gonna be beautiful!

**Trek420** · 07-19-2007, 09:48 PM

Yep, she has that little Mavic logo, looks like she came right off the neutral Mavic support vehicle

Except for you see brass bell we got at Recycled Cycles.

Chris had the bike out front at the shop. He says folks walked in and all said "Man, now THAT'S yellow!"

They toyed with the design to the end, Tim took the Lizard Skins off, he thought it broke up the color and discovered that it needs just that extra bit of black or it's just a little too yellow. I could have told you, Tim, Chris knows what looks best on a bike.

I swear it's lighter

Apologies for the picture quality, I think I moved the camera phone.

Underneath the bar on the left side, it's still there

Ok, I think I see the black clamp way down on the stem.

How the H### do you expect to reach the bell way down there?

**Trek420** · 07-27-2007, 08:53 PM

Anywhere else it got in the way of the shifter and or the Riv bag. It's easy, just drop my hand down and pull back.

what about putting it up on the bar near the grip but on the other side of the shifter so you can hit it with your index finger?

(keep both hands on the bars as much as possible, please?) (I worry.)

**Trek420** · 07-27-2007, 09:06 PM

but that's where I mounted the paint gun

Adventure Girl - sorry about your cracked frame.

I was going to mention that most bike companies will not cover a frame warranty unless it is in the original paint. I know this isn't a big deal with an older frame, but I would be careful with newer models that still have life on the frame warranty.

Tulip - thanks for the link to Spectrum! What fun it was to look at their pictures. But, now, I covet this look:

Reaching a bell down on the stem is easy and fast.

If you are in a situation where you need to reach the bell any faster than that, then it's already too late for a bell to help anyway!

Don't worry, I use my voice. I mostly call out first anyway. This is the first bike I've had a bell it's my habit to call out.

The bell is so you can tell the difference between this bike and the neutral TdF support car bikes

Quint, that is an amazing paint job. Where do we find one of those?

Still with the camera phone but better shot. I'd better go ride her soon.

and a very nice watering can, too!
