Quick mock up. I think I like the tan walls more than expected.
The Ti bolts on the stem conveniently match the frame so I'll go with it.
I've started sanding down the stem and removed the decals on the side.
I was going to continue and remove all the decals and then apply a new wet look clear coat but I'm now starting to think about painting the stem.
Was thinking of painting it to match the purple/green flip on the frame or a black base coat with a subtle glitter/rainbow/sparkle effect. Yay or nay?
Could well be hours of time wasted - it would be a very diy job but my young nephew has a compressor/spray guns and repaints his own car and motorbike parts.
Or I do it my self in the garage with decent quality spray cans but high quality paints are pricey. Other option is have it painted professionally but I'd guess that would cost more than the stem is worth?
Next question is which crank set?
I was originally keeping my hollowgrams and have them re-anodised in a new colour buy I've now sold them...
Thinking of something a little different from the Red/dura ace usual suspects.
I like aesthetic look of the canecreek ti cranks but the price forbids it. Any suggestions welcome
