Tony, Congrats on finally receiving the Saluki. I know all too well the excitement of that day, reminds me of childhood when I had no responsibility to speak of and your parents get you that new bike, it spells freedom. I also think you're wise to let the color either grow on you or not before leaping into the paint process. Though getting the color just right is also really sweet and makes it truly new. There's a silver Saluki rolling around these parts and it really shows what can be done with this frame set.
