I'm really tempted to have Gilmour do the paint, maybe in a champaign white or pearl white. Just give him the frame and fork and write a check. I think the wheels I ordered are anodized black so that would give a good contrast.

Since you are going to spend the money to paint the frame, I suggest have them move the brake bridge lower so it works with 700c wheels, align the frame, face the bottom bracket and head set. Remove the eyelids. Are you ever going touring in this? I know you are attached to the frame but I think its still a touring, sports frame. You may find the frame to be lazy coming out of corners once you get into shape. I am not sure i all this is important to you? I have had body shops paint frames before with great result and the cost is about 300 bucks with me doing the prep and stickers
