    Wow, that truly is a classic, in every way. Gorgeous, elegant color. Really sharp.

    The proportions are lovely. Looks like Bleu always wanted to be a road bike

    Very cool. I have my new Salsa Poco bars sitting on the kitchen table, but my change over isn't as big as yours.

    It looks great. Let us know about your ride.

    Bleu looks gorgeous! I love her color...beautiful.

    I just made a similar change to my classic as well. I did a few things a bit differently to suit the way I will ride her, but she looks very similar (unfortunately in a not so interesting silver color). I'll have to post before and afters as well.

    Great job and enjoy!!
