De poo pooing the thunder

I love the Poo Poo Thunder II, but I've always hated the color:

Beef Gravy Brown sounds great in marketing copy, but in real life the brown is not so gravy. It's too subdued. Too lame. Too ugly. To be honest, it looks like shit.

Finally I decided to take the ax to the color.

That's a stupid expression anyway. Striking the Poo Poo Thunder II with a sharp wood chopping implement would not be beneficial in any way. In fact, I can say with a fair degree of certainty that swinging a tool of such destructive power into my bicycle would render it un-ridable.

Anyway, the Thunder II is now disassembled, sanded, and ready to go to the painters.

Mm mm. Acid green. My favorite. I'm thinking about doing the green with some dark blue or orange accents. Makes me want to hit things with an ax.
