Bike Project Update

I've been working on and off on my building-a-bike project, but because I haven't worked hard on scrounging up the rest of the parts I find progress to be slow. Bleh. But, the good news is I focused my efforts on finishing up the new paint job. Inspired by the King of the Mountains jersey from the Tour de France, behold my "new" polka dot frame:

Bike Project

I've been away from blogging the last couple days working on a project: building a bike. So far I've gathered the frame, handlebars, and brakes, but still need to track down a seat, crank/pedals, and wheels. The big work lately has been preparing the frame.
A good blogger would have taken a "before" picture, but a good blogger I am not. Instead you get a brief description: white with TONS of stickers. I spent about three hours yesterday cleaning, shaving off the stickers, sanding, and applying primer to end up with what you see above. The first color coat was slated for today, but The Rain decided to stop by for a visit (bleck), so it's a waiting game. Once the color is applied I'll post an update.
