I’m hoping that people choose a color scheme like this on future builds. The head tube is a shade of the VW River Blue that I cut with a white pearl and sprayed over a white base. The effect is very pleasing to my eyes. One of the (many) neat details on this bike included me making a tiny wire guide for the taillight (vintage French one but not sure of the make) which is mounted low near the non-drive side rear dropout. It’s just to keep the wire out of the way of the axle when installing the wheel. There’s a short video of me putting it together here.
