Nothing wrong with the frame, just wasn’t happy with the paint job. I gave a loose brief and one very specific requirement, neither of which was met and it just wasn’t to my taste.
I mulled it over before deciding on a re-paint but I put too much effort into this to settle for a paint scheme that’s not to my tastes. Also from a personal pride point of view: I make custom bikes and I want my own bikes to be a good example of my work and ones that I’m proud of. It’s a shame as it means a delay, more money and I’ve had to offend a friend and collaborator.
