That looks awesome- Glad they went with the smooth finish rather than shot-peened. Much easier to keep clean! Hopefully it will be available as an option for re-finishing....I would do it.
Question fer ya, how did you come across this frame? Is this Turners new standard or a special one-off deal?

yep it looks sweet
somebody please buy my six pack that's on E-bay so I can build this beauty up.
Cheers!
yes and no
It is a little lighter shade of green than what will be coming out in the very near future.
kind of a one off I guess,I wanted a polished frame and didn't want to wait. Dave said he had this one and I said I want it,and called every single day until I got it.FM said:That looks awesome- Glad they went with the smooth finish rather than shot-peened.

as i understand it, and this may change at any moment for any reason, its all anno in '06.
Rfx
OK OK Sorry for the confusion. I have decided to call it RFX, I know how original. But hey, every year Ford calls their 1/2 ton truck a F 150 and it don't stay the same, just aimed at the same useage.
The reason KgB got it was that the color sample is a little pale. The dark green will be the alternate color of the RFX with dark Gray being the primary color stocked.

Sweet!!! Per Jared, I just have to patiently wait till January for my new one. It's going to ride so sweet with the 36 Vanilla.
Geeze, I think I like that green more than a darker shade. It's nice. Not electric-lime-puke like the Ventanas, and not British racing green like the old Turners. I am not a big fan of green bikes, but I could definitely go for one of those!
KgB, You bastard! Just when I was resigning myself to accepting the blandishness of my dull grey pack, YOU DO THIS! How can I work or eat? How will I sleep at night? YOU"VE RUINED IT FOR ME.
I'll get you back, you just wait.
I'll get you back, you just wait.
I'm intensely jealous.
Beautiful frame.

That's sweet. I guess they got the ano/tolerance issues worked out. As I remember Turner was having to ditch a number of frames coming back from anodizing because they were out of spec. Something about the ano process removing material.cactuscorn said:as i understand it, and this may change at any moment for any reason, its all anno in '06.
I'm hoping they'll have an alternate finish for the Highline. The raw finish makes sense on a bike that's going to be abused, but after seeing it in person I'm just not diggin' it like I thought I would.
Sorry about the tangent. Congrats on a sweet frame.
glad to see...
you finally got 'er
definitly worth watining for

Enjoy your pickle.
Just cause it's a nice high zoot bike does not give you free reign to make it an ugly color.
Sheesh, what people can get away with these days. (yes, detect the sarcasm, and take lightly)
