I don't think you can buy mandarin anymore.

Good job.
Thanks, I went by a photo of the mandarin. It is not hard to get one side striped, but making the other match is a trick. I didn't have a bike that I could actually measure the width and what not, so I just did the best I could. I had one in 99 that was mandarin and silver. I liked it too, but never really cared for the actual yellow. It always seemed to close to school bus yellow. Of course I'm not a big yellow fan either.
