This color is incredible! Nice build. I just received a NOS Gus from the previous batch (mine is Riv blue), and I'm kinda curious as to why the little instrument graphics were moved to the chainstays - particularly the driveside stays - since folks routinely wrap the stay to protect the paint from chain slap. If I had one of these newer models, I would be bummed to have to cover up those cool little graphics.
