fka Splat's That (Bristol-Bath cycle path destroyers)

Anyone ever manage to match the kuwahara pink paint or find some older akai 700c rims

I can dig out my RAL chart and compare when I'm back, if you like.

that would be great, thanks....

What's happened here is that I've acquired a similarly splattery Cheetah.

Nice. What’s the difference between the two? Cheetah is mtb?

Yeah that's right, 26er.

Weighs a tonne, chainstay u-brake, less posh tubing.

doing this before i get excited and take it apart

Damn that paint is wild!

Yea it's a bit nuts. Hoping it polishes up alright cos shiny shiny

Here's what I've got planned for it :

• don't spend too much money
  
• horizontal dropouts suggests singlespeed
  
• dynamo front hub
  
• wide bars
  
• repaint the stem to evoke the teal niceness it would have been originally
  
• keep the suspension seatpost??
  
• big front rack
  
• cushy plump tyres
  
• mudguards
  
• don't, and I cannot stress this enough, spend too much money
  

Remember to not spend too much money.

thanks I'll try

this is going to be a money pit for sure

Oulala great projects!

Hell yeah

yes no it isn't

Will be brilliant...just don't spend too much money

Ever figure that pink RAL?

looks great! what color cable housing are you thinking?

Looks awesome. I haven't got time to do much or post anything due to small people but here's (most of) the bits that'll be going on mine. Told you I'd steal your ideas liberally ;) I'm not going to be using the pink Kuwahara stem so give me a shout if if you want it.

Yes that is a fridge...

Missed this but better late than never. I have the original tires but they've definitely seen more life than I'd expected. DM me if you want them and you're welcome to them for the price of postage.

this looks wicked. Digging the tyres + saddle combo

manifested some BARGAINOUS middleburns. Probably cos they're isis (not that one).

Stripped the clear anodizing off with caustic with a view to polishing them, but decided I quite like the look of them like this
