first try

Reprayed my T1, dropping of to get chased/faced as soon as it's hardened and then it's build time!

Nice! Is it @agusteed 's?
bar id on the carrera? Soma hwy1?

Haha, mine's at home.. if I remember correctly there are 4 frames like this, 3 identical (2 in France and 1 in Australia) and 1 slightly different in France as well.. ;)

Here's its current state, with nitto bullhorns:

You like? Only cost me £20 to build up. Just need to change the seat post for a micro adjust one in the future.

HWY1

That looks wicked!

Anymore photos of the paint/decals?

I need to finish this build

The only things that arr holding me up now are some stepped ferules, and a damn noodle, but how do i know what noodle to buy?

Nice argyleing on the seat post there.

Like a Pringle sock

Any question answered >>>

Can't you just snake a bit of outer round?

The bridge thing isn't a stop and is too small for a ferrule. That's his main problem I think.

It needs a pulley wheel seat clamp thingy I reckon - right piece of shit English engineering.

Ah I see, something like this?

That's the one.

Or V brakes.

Found an old locally made disc ('lollipop') on an auction site for a song. It's not light. Beginning work on possibly the silliest hybrid yet. Risers, 7s trigger shifter. Having to Dremel out the hole for the valve stem is fun, as it seems to be made for 25mm valve stems.

Yes. Lots of yes.

I'm about to do something similar on my Vitus. All-black 55cm 979 frame, got my old HED disc which I can't TT on any more, some inappropriately spinny gearing on either 1x7 or 1x6, SRAM trigger, 140mm 1A and Easton Monkey bars.

Sounds amazing. We'll start a thread with a silly acronym too.

I discussed some paint options for the cyfac with my friend who'll spray it. Since I really love the colours on his duell, I'm leaning towards using the same colours with a long fade over the TT and DT from the front to the back. @Tijs If you find some time, could you maybe do me a favour and illustrate the paintjob in photoshop?
Basically the same colours as these

with the pink around the BB area in the front, fading into the orange in the back and the area between the red lines being the 'fade-area'. And if it's not too much hassle, maybe the cyfac decal in white (with black outlines?):
The babyblue version is probably the most suitable basis for the illustration. Thanks in advance (if applicable) :)

test 2

Something like this?

Other way around:

Bit difficult. If you have Photoshop I can give you the .PSD file, and then you can mess around with the two different fades independently yourself.
