Nick, i am with Mick on this one, it would appear, on the face of it, to be a standard model.

It would certainly help resolve this debate if kbean63 were to photograph his model in natural daylight along side another powder blue superfast. I would also suggest that he photograph it with a better camera and resize the image before posting it.

Test. Sorry, my PC is on it's death bed and I'm hoping to replace soon but I wasn't able to use it to resize this photo.Anyway, here's a pic next to a regular wheel/regular color model and you can its quite different from that but it still doesnt look as bright as other powder blues. I wish I had another powder blue to compare it to.

Kbean, Your images are still way to big, Just a suggestion but when posting images i always reduce the image size to 500 x 375 using Paint editing and that way you can get the whole image onto the forum. Perfect.
