  • Scrabble font could look cool in a Rock Lobster kind of a way : )
    I might make the squares a bit yellower because pink and yellow always look great together.

  • rush-job but comme ça:

  • Lovely,ta. Rhubarb n custard.

  • I like the scrabble idea. You reckon the pink will work with silver wheels+finishing kit?

  • Ta. Dunno yet, only one way to find out, if not I have plenty of black stuff in the shed, then I could hunt down some black rims.

  • Further investigation leads me to believe it will work.

  • Tip-top.

  • Thanks for the potatoshop work, just gotta find someone to make them now!

  • At the risk of asking for answers where none are to be found, why did you ditch the mr pink?

  • Because my friend, I'm a fucking arsehole!

    It's ok though, I've got first dibs if it ever goes up for sale again.

  • I look first to the thread title change if you do buy it back

  • Think I'll leave the thread title alone, just class it under the " blah blah blah" bit.

  • With the greatest of respect and admiration for what you have achieved, leaving things alone hasn’t proven to be your strength

    But I digress, did you also shift the pauls before using them?

    Also the pink with silver looks great. I thought the pink would need black but I was wrong

  • I am one of life's tinkerers/fettlers, I probably enjoy fucking about with bikes as much as enjoy riding them to a brew n cake shop.
    I used one of the Pauls, the front I think, for a couple of days, it was ok, but not massively better than my current brakes.
    Honestly I hadn't considered whether it would work with silver until @atk asked, then I remembered KK's Mr Pink from the Radavist, thankfully it looks like it does.

  • Winston sent some more pics today, nearly ready to go to Aurum tomorrow, a miscommunication/understanding between us meant the forks had an extra pair of eyelets (which are being removed before going to Aurum).
    It's looking rather splendid, I think.

  • Photo skills not on par with his brazing skills ay

  • Come on Mads, they're fantastic photos, take it from me, my reputation as a great bicycle photographer wasn't earned easily. 😉

  • I probably enjoy fucking about with bikes as much as enjoy riding them

    Amen

  • It's looking rather splendid

    Yep!

  • Dibs are still in place @jontea !

    New bike looks superb, as expected

  • I'd go for a lighter pink like that amazing bike someone on here had (@superjoe ?) which I can't find a picture of. Or a petrol blue (probably not the right phrase) like @Hulsroy 's favourite Bob Jackson.

    But it's not mine... Yet ;)

  • I did start with a lighter pink in mind, but then I found a On One frame in RAL 4003 (heather violet) that looked amazing, then ended up with 4010 (telemagenta).
    If I don't like it, it's not undoable, I'm just having a bit of fun with it.
    RAL 6004 blue green (kinda petroly blue) is on the cards for when I have Winston bike 1 done later this year (the clear coat isn't coping with Cheshire winter, too much salt on the roads).

  • the clear coat isn't coping with Cheshire winter, too much salt on the roads

    Oh it isn't? Who would have thought...
