I think it's fierce. And it looks like it's saying, "Come on, you know you want it."
I rike it!

I can do five more miles.
Okay, okay, okay buuuuut. Here's the thing. It's neglected steel. In Colorado where it snows and they put evil stuff on the snow that eats steel. So if I get it all apart to paint it I can tidy up any developing rust, shoot it full of frame saver even though it's an after thought, and make her pretty again. I think I can find a color scheme true to her late 80s early 90s roots. I'd like to do something two tone and really highlight her lugs.
I highly a doubt a DIY paint job will look that amazing, but I think it will be fun, and parts are way more important than spending $150 plus for paint.
I just thought the tractor colors would be fun since as it stands right now I'm a country girl lost in the city. I have a friend who works at a sign shop and I could get vinyl lettering to make it a New Holland, or International Harvester, etc. I just figure at her advanced age that she's still plugging along like many old tractors I know.
"True, but if you throw your panties into the middle of the peloton, someone's likely to get hurt."
You mean a tractor like this? (that's my boy, hugging his John Deere after it pulled him 50 miles.)
ZOMG! Yes! The only problem is those are also OR Ducks colors and I'm a Beaver Believer and could get disowned from my "chosen family" for that! I did find pink bar tape locally so she may end up black with pink lugs. Sexy, sexy. Still on a post meeting mister Gary Fisher high, don't mind me.

And the chamois is ultra absorbent if you can't get out of them in time to piddle!
Oh, I bought the beasty toys today! For less than a two tanks of gas, you can buy a Sora Groupo for a needy steel bike. Won't you help the poor, steel bike frames of the world? Can you look into their lugs and tell them no? Please, look into your heart and reach out a helping hand.
