Green and orange for me, but no matte paint.

Although it’s a colourway that has been co-opted by a political party, regal purple and bright yellow is a strong combo

agreed, that one is a proper cross/poser bike...

Am I alone in thinking the current colour scheme is great?

Great, but NEW PAINT COLOURS FADEzzzz etc.

Number two for me mate

I'd go with the first one as well!

First one edges it for me too....

I got in touch with Marty, and he kindly is going to provide files that I can print vinyl decals from.

He also said that he would recommend using Therml-X in 7/4/7 walk thickness, which is the steel he used after True Temper stopped producing for frame builders. I discussed using Columbus Spirit with Sam. I will go with whatever Sam's preference is, as I guess builders like to use tubes they are familiar with.

In line with the consensus (and my wife's opinion), I will probably go with option 1, being Sky blue frame and pink/violet fork. Anyone care to speculate on what the nearest Ral code is? I should probably get in touch with Aurum.

That colour way needs these tubs:

Gotta look lairy rolling in last in the London league.

They're probably uninsured and would rather not get found out

Hadn't thought of that, but you could well be right.

Just give it to Steve and let him match it. He is the pro after all

Fair point

Frame stripped to take to Sam today.

I eyeballed the fork - no visible signs of damage. I'm going to ask Sam to take a look as well, but it is obviously my liability and decision over whether to ride it.

what's the bag you have on the front?

How did it go today? Hope all good news. Looking forward to what happens w this. T

All good - Sam is going to replace the head tube, top tube and down tube, probably with Columbus Spirit. He can get round to it in August, but I left it with him to check rear alignment and to pick up work on it whenever he is ready.

Ah fantastic. That’s great steel, looks amazing but super light and performs great. Bit of a wait but it’ll be worthwhile. Hopefully the rear checks out for you too. Keep us updated, this will be good 👍 T

I guess there’s no overarching Geekhouse thread, so I’ll just stick this here...
