Had to Google that paint.

So shit it's actually amazing. Instant classic.

Skull valvecaps FTW.

it is horrible !

whats the plan?
always look forward to a new build by you

multibike, I'm pretty tired of riding fixed in the swedish winter, I will probably use it a lot as a workbike wintertime.

so i ordered a full carbon CX fork for work, and i will use OG fork for touring.

me and two guys at my work planing a short eurotrip next summer (1500k) ish.

Setup will be something like this /

Sram red cranks with some wolftooth chainring,
105/ultegra 10spd.

Custom racks will be built for the touring ride.

and yeah, i will repaint the frame :)

seperate thread from now.. ^

Sub 94cm wheelbase "attach-all-the-parts-bin-to-a-new-frame" coming up (damn cheap for a frameset)

Really nice one! Does the frame come from njs-export?
Is it me or one of your inner tube valve is gold and the other one silver?

Just received one of those forks via AliExpress, for a project. Decent!
Feels reassuringly well made, although not the best quality of finish, as you'd expect (a few sanding marks to alu crown casting visible through the black paint), but not a problem if you're going to repaint anyway. No complaints given it was less than £30, shipped free from China in less than two weeks. Weighs 525g with uncut steerer (matte; glossy might be heavier).
I'll be blanking the brake hole, grinding the crown to match my head tube, and possibly adding some cable routing (internal looks unlikely) before painting.

I finished my new cross bike today, the Nature Boy was fun but racing a singlespeed can get a bit frustrating unless the course really suits it, now I have one less excuse. Apologies for rubbish phone pic.

panasonic in progress...

I like that a lot!

Been tuning my cx as well...

Paint is almost too nice to re-do!

Why re-do it? Paying customer? Love the look of those Ritcheys, do it proud!

It is.

Might need a skinny stem on that.

Why re-do it?

Check out his custom Talbot.

Skinny stem?
I have 3T Doric Team post, and Arx Team stem. Both will be painted to match.

As in a slim looking stem, headtube is quite skinny that a normal stem look out of proportion.

Arx will be fine I think.

Yeah haz seen what the man can do! Although painting the blank canvas of a custom build is v different to this - just not seen anyone paint over a new frame with such a good paint job already!

It's gonna be pretty simple.
Mostly RAL 6003, the same as my old hipster lo pro back in 2009.

Always thought they'd look wicked in a version of their USA colourway

No to fades.

Not on this bike, anyway.

Is that an MTB?
