Hello guys, It took me forever to submit my photos due to constant changes that I was making.

My thanks for the beautiful refurbishment of my beloved Claud Butler Majestic.  I have to say I think you guys have surpassed even your own previous effort on this frame.  The Deep Flam Blue is even deeper and more vibrant than I remembered from last time around.  It looks deep enough to dive into!  I…
