It's going to be interesting. So far it's looking like it will come out a lot like this.

I need to put in a second order. They can breed all over my house and I can make a fortune re-selling to PL'ers.

those de-badged look excellent. on some builds, agreed it can make a big aesthetic difference. I put C11 on a frame instead of SR11 because the red on the SR11 was not a good look. yes it was a corner case but that was the right call.

It’s making me think I should have gone record 12 without logos over chorus 12. Yes, petty as it sounds, logos were considered when I was deciding between the two. Granted, the alloy bits on chorus do feel at home on an aluminum cross frame.

yes, call me Petty too... (not tom or richard though)

my C11 were all white since I bought the year after the all white SR11

the red just would not have worked given the frame paint and build.

Whenever you're ready. Get it in quicker though since they're running out.

You might leave some offspring for the rest of us, but don't they burst out your chest and then you dead?

I think you are good as long as you keep a positive attitude and a grin:

Thank you for the heads up. I will leave the remainder for others. Perhaps I can find the owner of a 10 speed chorus group that wants to try cross-breeding something for Reuben.

I just picked up an almost new silver Chorus 10 kit from someone. He had them on show bikes and had 3 or 4 of them. I couldn't pass up the price.

Nice pickup- it is getting tougher to find them in nice condition, and there are few equals aesthetically, imo.
