Not the most exciting project compared to some on here, but here goes anyway...
I somehow managed to crack the steerer on my Supersix recently, and luckily discovered it two days before my insurance ran out (I decided already not to renew it). Dealing with Cannondale to source a fork was like some kind of Kafkaesque nightmare, and after six weeks this was the closest they could get
At this point, I was so fucked off, I didn't really care that it's not even a hi-mod fork. It's gonna need a repray anyway, I thought, and the insurance will pay for it, so why not do what I've always wanted to do since I was about 15 and get a custom paint job...
Off I popped to Cole Coatings, had a great chat with Ian and decided that this is to be The Bike of Stuff I've Always Wanted Plus Bits I Already Have With Paint Inspired By Important Life Events.
I took this photo on the first morning of my honeymoon, was the view that made me fall in love with Iceland, and I wanted to replicate that in the paint. It'll be a few more weeks until it comes back from Cole so I'll post updates as and when!
