Too bad it doesn't come in pretty colors, but a paint job is only a couple hundred yeah?

I'll be using it for everything except CX as well (unless I get into CX... Which may yet happen lol)
I wish they came in colors other than black or white (the 2013s are white). I'd absolutely take it down to the other shop around here and have it sandblasted and powder-coated a deep green (Charge has a single-speed that's an absolutely beautiful shade of dark green), dark blue, or purple. The only problem is that you can't replace the decals. Oh well. Both colors are relatively versatile, and I have plans for them, depending on which one I get my hands on.
