Olympic Bronze it is, had a closer look at @Hulsroy's, very nice, much bronze, so shine.

With gold rimz?

With gold rimz.

good choice, its an unusually nice colour.

Got to get the paint tomorrow to give it to Matt, long overdue.

Can't wait to see it. I have a bike which i'd like to do in that colour.

Yeah, hurry up.

pics or it didn't happen.

Isn't it.

have you finished this yet? i'm seriously thinking about getting a bike done in this colour. do you have the paint code?

Missed the discussion about chrome, what about nickel plating? Is that suitable for bike frames?

Olympic Bronze is a specific car/moto color.

Seems possible... https://www.flickr.com/photos/phofos/16662319862/

Thanks! have you got photos of your bike in that colour?

Yes mate. I did post them earlier in the thread, but here you go:

Lovely! Ta!

That's off the card.

It gonna get chromed.

@edscoble
Did you use these?

Want some light SPD pedals and these also seem to offer a platform for the shoes too.

Yup, that's the one, it's the lightest one I can find that spin smoothly and quite easy (if not easier) to clip in as road pedals.

Really worth getting.

There are lighter single sided one but it's very small and harder to flip and clip in.

What's happening with your bike Ed? Are you still waiting to get it chromed?

Shouldn't be long now, on its way getting chrome.

Awesome. Looking forward to seeing V2.0!

Not seen this thread before. Nice bike.

I couldn't tell from skimming through the thread but why is it back with Ryan?

OCD: Shame about the splodge of grease in this pic though.

Cool will get them. Thanks.
