I never liked the original paint on my road bike, but couldn't come up with a good reason or color scheme worth changing to. Then I got the ~1912 Special Racer and read up on the history of Iver Johnson and Major Taylor, it occurred to me that my road bike was a 2000 and if Iver was still in business, perhaps they'd celebrate the 100th anniversary of Major's 1900 world championship with a special edition racer. And, so I figured out my new color scheme and now it is finally done. I made a head badge with a machine turned gold insert instead of the red, but I really like the bike without it, so I might not put it on.
