I'm missing it more now!

This is top shelf.

Agreed. Understated rad.

@rawmeat Same goes for the Ritchey

Would never have thought the Pro Stealth Evo integrated bar/stem would have worked on a semi-skinny tubed semi-old school steel frame, as they are a super chunky, and very modern shape in the flesh.... But they totally make this rig IMHO. Look great colour matched too. A simple single main colour paint job goes a long way in the HHSRB world.

Yep. It reminds me of that GTI colour scheme you painted way back. It didn't need much to stand out, just the right colour pallet and choice parts that aren't by numbers.
Same reasoning can go for 44mm head tubes and skinny steel forks. I reckon it works well, just needs a good paint job behind it to make it work.

Haha. Yeah, I miss that bike. I specifically left the Enve fork unpainted so that the matte black finish on the fork and the bare carbon seat tube emulated the black plastic bumpers the Mk2 golfs had!

Understated paint will never go out of fashion!

@Chak u will help me derestrict my bosch performance cx yeah?

yes yes!

So wrong, but so right. Fantastic.

Like that but kinda wished they'd flipped the fades. Maybe a hangover from custom car days but from memory painters would put the darker shade at the bottom to make cars look more planted.

But then again this is a bike and i might be talking bollocks.

SW London or SW UK?

SW UK.

i think this is what they're going for

Blue with orange Talbot?

Its supposed to look like a trout. If they did the fades the other way round the trout woud be upside down/dead.

Horrible paintjob imho and aero tubes with box section rims look meeh
