This is my car. I don't own a carbon spewing, children killing, money sucking car. Car Free going on 9 years now. Certainly healthier, couldn't be happier. Ivory is a nice color on a lugged bike. Course your will have to part with your ride for a while. -- You received this message

I wouldn't bother with painting the head tube, but I do think it looks a bit naked without a head badge or something up there. Even a sticker off a piece of fruit would work. I had a sticker from a package of strawberries on the head tube of my old bike for years, and it was awesome. Or you

Hi Clayton, Looks like a super workhorse, military-spec, explorer bike. What a nice color your honey B-17 turned out. I'd probably leave the color as is-- maybe put the head badge back on, or even get a custom one made. Maybe try Bosco hbars? Happy riding, shoji On Tuesday, April 23, 2013
