steel all-road frame with some paint touches

This one goes to Colorado. The customer used to be a local bike mechanic and was wanting a frame that represented his former home. He was very specific about the paint and I like what he came up with. The work was done by Joe's bicycle painting in Watsonville and I think they did a really good job capturing the idea on the customer's sketch and making it a reality on the frame.
This customer was very set on using post mount brakes so finding a fork was difficult. We settled on a Carver fork from Bikeman as it was the only thing available that wasn't $ 500 or out of stock. The other requirement was a 15 mm thru axle which thankfully this fork has.
