• Bike is booked into the bike shop for later this week 😎

    And my mv wheels are with arkane, so good to live near bike infrastructure!!!!!

    @TotalShanner they actually have a house sheet of colours, but can order custom ones for a charge, I went for their purple with ruby flake

    They have a few greys and silver / blue flake standard

    @cozey if you openly post about having terminal aesthetic brain worms people with the condition open up to you, it’s almost like having a support group

    “Hey guys, I’m maj, I’ve not ordered any cnc in 2 weeks, it’s been hard but I’m hoping to make it a month”

    @Oddo very kind! I’ve wanted a silver finishing kit bike for a while, perfect exercise!

    It looks rather handsome in the saddle, like a scaled down @elevatortohell build, might put cotton tape on the front of the bars, a nice grey / olive

    @Josh @psg1ben if anyone is se/ or anywhere inside the m25 for that matter, would be down for a ride, I’m double vaxxed and avoiding most things inside/ public transport but if I can cycle there, come thru 😎

  • Thanks, I've been doing a bit of research and there's a powder coaters in Glasgow I could use but it seems they don't do fancy flake colours.

    I'm calling cyclone today and ask about the possibility of posting a frame down to them. If not I'll hassle my brother in law into it.

    Just experimented there with sanding a small section of the frame down with 2000grit then spraying it with clear coat and so far seems to have dried in OK...
