Honestly though, to be a real Pixilla, it must be an orange 2003 Pixy and it must have a ZPI RC301 CPO Mg Spool... :big grin:
then i guess you got the only real Pixilla then mhood. . . ;) because i doubt anyone else (with the exception of, maybe, Cal) has that awesome combo. how 'bout my orange 2003 with an orange presso spool? good enough? ;)
I got that Combo! Orange spool and all!

There are a few others too...I think Cal has one (although it sure seems strange that he'd hang on to a righty). :lol:

Here's the latest Pixilla D.R. made for me. This one has a 90MM Bassart Handle with the Shimano Septon knobs I'm so fond of. I have it on the Evergreen Steed for now but that's likely to change soon...
