Compact True Temper Track

Rowdy. Like it alot

All black components pleaaaaaase

Cheers, it's gonna have mostly black components like this

The stem seems wrong so may switch it out for a black Zipp but tbh I kinda like it

I'm thinking to tone back the graphics as there's a lot going on just with that colour, something like this

Cranks should always be silver!

Black cranks look better for the first day then silver looks better. I've got the Omniums with Hope BB already, no need to switch

Please keep the colourful decals.
I love a bumblebee but the colourway is class

I'm gonna get a few different coloured sets of vinyl decals and see what works before I commit to paint. I do really want it to have a bit of American flavour though and love that Look colourway. Also considering silver to tie in with the components but it can look a bit washed out against such a bright colour

^^ this. Metallic green could be cool.

True, though green striped tyres are only temporary :) or a teal could look cool too, colour choice is always the hardest

Progress

wasn't thinking so much about the tires but this

Would it have been more in line with the brief to have a shorter head tube and less aggressive stem?

designing it around an aggressive stem for racing leaves the option to easily raise the bars a bit without a ton of spacers should he decide to use it for something else in future, no?

oof that is a beaut! Think it's gonna have to be blue for this, the metallic decals look winning though

Yeah as @Borek put it really. An aggressive stem and compacts puts me in a good position for the track, -6 stem with compacts for a more casual riding position. In time I'll find/make a more neutral stem and run it with deeper drops for track

Gotta go to town on the eagles now.

Very sad news indeed. I still haven't been able to find a high quality image of that old eagle decal. Think I'm gonna go with the chicken head in vinyl for now and hope to find the eagle before I paint it

does this help?

The outline is similar to the one you want (I presume to be this below)

if your handy with illustrator getting the shape of the eagle shouldn't be too hard, not sure on the font though, no idea what it is

Yeah that's the one, do you have that decal? or is it an image you found online?

You're right, I'm gonna give it a go and see if I can generate something useable before I get the vinyl cut

Can't believe I forgot about this in the bottom of my kit drawer, and there's that logo front and center!
