The vibrant yellow carbon frame w turquoise lettering is, in my opinion, the sweetest looking of all Tallboy paint schemes. As such I took great care to preserve and protect said beautiful paint rendering thus applied AMS Honeycomb clear protective tape to the frame in strategic locations.
As you can see in two of the pictures, the frame sustained a little damage from a rock strike kicked up by my front wheel. I work with an aerospace composites engineer who repairs carbon frame frames as a side hustle, and he did a great job fixing the frame.
