Rather than a somber gunmetal grey, it is now a warm yellow with subtle flame/smoke markings. It looks really nice, and I think I can pretty safely say that this bike project is now done!
Now though, people seem to want to give it a name, but there are not that many yellow objects that you can name it after... The current two favourites are:
"Ra" (after the Egyptian sun god) or, more light heartedly, "Nibblet" (after canned sweet corn kernels)
... although, I should note that I vetoed both "Daffodil" and "Daisy" :)
