Here is the painted frame.
I used a 2 part epoxy primer from Eastwood to start.  Then I used some orange and grey/blue paint from Toyota for the basecoat.  Then topped it with 3 coats of gloss clear.

Is the picture posting to the site not on anymore?  I was going to post some pictures up of my build.

The frame came today. It arrived in one piece.  Heads up if you order the FLX-FR-701 it does not come with the through axle, you have to source that your self, it is not mentioned on the website. looking forward to building this frame out.

I just ordered the FLX-FR-701 for a project build. In the tech specs online it calls for a BB92. My question is on the headset size. I could not find out what combo I need to order for the taper head tube. I see that it mimics the CS-496 frame that was built upon this site. So, I searched for the topic in the 496 builds, but it looks like that frame came with a headset from the factory and there was no mention of the sizes used.  Anyone that built a 496 know what headset size was used?  would it be best to measure when the frame gets here in a couple of weeks?  Thanks for any input
