Co-Motion Nor'wester. I don't have the build done yet, but I'm working on it!

that is super nice! is the main color sort of a green champagne? what kind of steel?

Reynolds 853. The main color is champagne, but it really seems to pick up the green from the 'tropical green' panels. Trying to pick out colors from painted tube samples is kind of hrad, but I am really pleased with the way it came out.

Build is a mix of 9 speed NOS Campy and Shimano XTR. The only thing I'm not realy happy about is the XTR R.derailur is mostly black; I'd love to find a mostly silver NOS one from a few years back. I'll be keeping an eye on E-bay for that.

The only Carbon on the bike is the brifter bodies (al blades) and there is a little on the Chours CTR F.derailur. Oh, and the Aliante seat pan, but you can't see that! I still need to source a stem I like (I'm using a black Bontrager I had for sizing for now) - it was designed for a 100mm x 6deg rise, which is what the Bontrager is. I'd really like to have something in Ti to match the TiBicycles seat post.
