So I picked up the Super frame from the painters yesterday and can't wait to start building it up. It's an off white pearl however the photos make it look a bit whiter than it actually is. I'm going to leave it a while though as the paint is only a couple of days old but loosely fitted the BB and pressed in the headset so I can do a a few more bits later this week that won't 'stress' the paint. Although it's unlikely I'll ride in wet conditions etc I decided to have it clear coated anyhow. It's very shiny, too shiny in fact for my liking but a friend of mine suggested letting the clear coat cure then lightly polishing the frame with an abrasive pad to take the edge off the shine and give it a more 'period' look which is probably what I will do.
I've everything ready to go on, Nuovo record groupset and a lovely mint pair go GP4's on Record hubs. Only headset and callipers are Gran sport but as funds permit I may change them in the future.
