That 2cents has been very valuable to me, as my bike is definitely not everyone's cup of tea.

I must remember that for next time I'm asked about the colour of my panniers - er, saddlebags!

After 29yrs you tell me I can change the color ? I'm thinking that would erase most of the character it's aquired over the years.

I would just get a picture and take it to the artist. I don't think it should be all that complicated or expensive for a good painter.

Well here it is. Took us awhile to nail down the exact color blue that I wanted but it turned out pretty #%*^ing good if I do say so myself. I'm just ready to put it back together and get it back on the highways of America.
