Ageing hipster makes new bike.

That looks really good!

Ooohhh, nice.

It’s finished. Well, I still have to wait a month to build it to allow the paint to cure. Which is frustrating but will ultimately be worthwhile.

Would high recommend the team at Cole Coating.

Looks awesome man! Really nice.

oh wow, that's gorgeous

Really good! More pics please.

Im going to do a slow reveal. I don't want to peak too soon :)

Reminds me of bronski beat, etc... I dig it.

I really think it needs silver parts. Black will look good, of course, but also sort of juvenile.

I would go silver with dark dark brown tape and seat.

That looks great, how much was the complete frame then there? I guess not only the mentioned €500? Could they also do something like a Piolet or Ulv?
Color reminds of this Manner Rosa color:

Silver yes. Brown tape and saddle, never.

The complete frame was just over £900.

Sadly Enve only comes in black 😎

Grey Ti stuff should look really good on that.
Looking very good so far!

Well, I still have to wait a month to build it to allow the paint to cure.

Looks fantastic though!

'tis true with modern paints, sadly. I couldn't contain myself once (ooohh) and started clamping things on a wet painted frame after 8-10 days or something and the paint, being soft, got scratches and dimples. Probably best to hide it in a closet or similar and forget about it for a month...

+1 on Ti parts, Controltech Timania logo's could even match up nicely with the frame logo style

After much swearing and repeatedly chalking my sweaty palms they are on. Looking forward to riding on a 36c cloud.
