Been building up the Pomp over the last few months. Can't believe it was a year ago that I bought it, doesn't make sense where that time has gone...
Stripped and attacking seatpost (this took ages to get out + a hacksaw)
Finally
Primer
Decided to do the stem too
Then paint
Decals
Have started the clear coat
Need to clear coat the frame and do a few more coats on the forks to build up a good protective layer, might buy some more clear to do that.
Have got a pink Aerozine headset going on, ordered tektro brakes, a new gxp bb for some spare omniums I have, old wheels with a WI freewheel in the parts box, old zen chainring somewhere. Should look nice.
Next dilemma is pink brake cables or not, I am thinking yes.
Meanwhile the caad has been enjoying the snow, and the nelson is a commute workhorse. Brooklyn is in pieces.
