Absolutely stunning! This is one of the best bike paint jobs ever! The super bloom complementary color scheme is flawless. I respect that you have a story to tell from inspiration to execution. Respraying the head tube S logo was the right choice. For me, I would like to see the paint scheme applied to the stem just because I want more and some gold bolts from Better Bolts to further enhance and carry over. I'll try and find the video of a Specialized Crux painted by a Japanese artist that you may like.
