I visited Steve Rex and ordered my new bike on March 7, 2009. Delivered August 11, 2009. Bike is full custom, all-steel. The color situation is here.

Would you buy a bike from this man? Steve Rex the builder-man delivering my bike. You'll notice that the wheels still have the decals at the shop.

This shot shows the pearl blue that is over the green. The other photos don't show it well at all. You have to experience it to appreciate it.  :)

And here are my two main bikes that are coincidentally the same colors as those of my father's college - shown on his wool blanket that must be 60 years old.
