Robert,
Keep your eyes peeled, I'm putting gold leaf on the lugs of my Hetchins Millinium frame. I'm hoping to bring it to the Cirque in May for it's debut. Not going to be gloss black, though. Like Jim Allen says, "if it ain't blue, it aint a bike". I actually like lots of different colors, but I'm in "blue mode" right now.
