Fantastic thread - frame and forks look great. Looking forward to the finished article.

Fantastic thread indeed. Keep them pictures coming.

Specialized Allez never looked so good

Looks amazing!

Okay, bike is off for its lacquering at Henderson's of Leith, the only phase I am reticent to do myself. Crap phone photos of newly-sprayed bits.

And it's done. First bike I've ever designed, sprayed and built from start to finish. Very, very chuffed. A few things I'd like to change after a quick ride on it tonight, mainly slamming the stem, but I'm stoked.

Shimano 105 5800 groupset, 53-39 chainset, 170mm cranks, 11-28 cassette, long cage rear mech, braze-on front mech with adapter

Superstar Components Arc 31 wheels, gold hubs and skewers
Superstar Components 36* x 45* headset bearings

Great Job.
I'd change the saddle to a black slr or something similar. That's me.

Bravo

Yup, was gonna go Cambium B17 but this was a 40th birthday gift from my folks and just seemed right.

was all going so well...

Needs black errything. Paint job is rad but all the silver and brown and tan bits distract from it

Normally hate gold stuff but quite like that.

I think I'd like to see another one done with the seatclamp colours for the whole frame too. Jackson Pollock-ness ftw

Brooks >>>

Fair point, but black 105 looks shit in my opinion and looks worse - esp. chainset - when worn.

Thanks. May do a Jackson on the Fuji. Would be better as a Jackson Pollock Bob Jackson but hey.

black 105 looks great (when new and not scratched...) imho, all black blackness would be nice! wheel set looks great

Great paint job.

+1 for all black finishing. 105 in black isn't all that offensive ... ?

Fantastic result - well done.

Mind if I ask where you had the vinyl cutting done? (I'm in Edinburgh)

Sorry for not replying sooner. Vinyl done by Black Box on Clerk St in Newington, ride on time. Ask for Mark, a fine fellow and helped me out a lot over the years.

love it, great project, well done and great thread, too
also the first bar and stem spraying looks ace!
