nice dude, i just got mine back from getting sandblasted, next step is sand down and primer, maybe paint... haven't decided if i want to do a bronze color with a NH-0 pinstripe or something like that or if i just wanna throw some black on it and call it a day... decisions decisions

sanding that could be dangerous, all i know about carbon is that you have to get past the clear coat and stop, otherwise you risk damaging the CF.... but if you're hand sanding you should be fine.

i really wish i could just throw a clear cover on the bike, its got a bad *** silver look to it right now, i just don't know if it'll be there after i smooth it down.

i'm just gonna use the seat that came with it until i upgrade my seat on my Allez, then i'll do a nice seat swap
