Ha! Cheers, it was of course your 9 that inspired the forks and is a hard act to follow. If I paint it i'll do the whole frameset. I could understand the beef when I considered painting the toothpaste CAAD but this is just another black CAAD AFAIK. I also like the idea of having a go at designing and painting it myself.
I'm still trying to nail the proportions first (shit fixie skidders...), maybe after a few tweaks it'll come to life. The components are a bit dull (budget) as well. The only parts I've thrown money at is the Ultegra bits. They work very nicely but they don't exactly get the pulse racing. After trawling the web for inspo I've now seen enough slammed/Sram'd/carbon'd CAAD's to last a life time. The Campag on yours definitely makes the difference IMO.

(First dibs on the frame, but) I think it will look fine with another couple of coats. Straight forks look way better.
Are you thinking of painting the fork a (different) contrasting colour, or the whole frameset?
