pale purple kvale for a winter's evening

i am often less than thrilled with the way some bikes are put together, but this rig with the modernish campagnolo stuff and aero brake levers and simplex retrofriction shifters on an incredible chris kvale frame, well that's right in my wheelhouse.  put on some second-generation time equipe pedals and a flite saddle and yeee haww!  the lovely metallic purple is so pale and delicate that the pictures don't do it justice, i'm sure.  i think i would have added that darker purple from the seat tube to the head tube as well for a bit more contrast, but this is killer in the least ostentatious way possible.  look at the beautiful lug work and another amazing seat cluster from another modern master.
