V cool. It’s weirdly sort of understated and bling at the same time.

Oof that's good

jazzy!
i'd like to do a sparkly clearcoat over one of my bikes.
spray.bike make one i think?

It’s a little more bling than intended but still fulfills the brief

Cheers @jambon

@bigshape think they do yes but I’ve not got the patience for rattle cans.

will it take bafang?

That's hectic. Rowdy

Been building this up today- not exactly a renovation and not exactly period correct, but kind of keeping with period.

1958 JRJ frame- It had been repainted by Bob Jackson some point in the 80s so had those horrible 80's style BJ decals on the down tube. I found some NOS varnish fix JRJ decals, so stripped the paint/decals on the DT, replaced with the JRJ decal and touched in the paint. Clear coat is a bit rough, but then so is the paint I didn't touch in, so all in all it looks the part I think.

Many thanks to the forums own @broken_777 for the fantastic looking wheel build.

Loving the red tape on that!

A new (to me) frame arrived today - all the way from Australia.

It’s not what it says on the box.

What are we supposed to do with this information?

Get it out the damn box man

Its a custom Baum isn't it?

If I know @Jingle_Jangle as well as I think I do then it'll be a custom bastion with gold leaf lugs and Miami vice sunset custom paint job complete with lightweight meilenstein wheels

Sounds rad!

Sorry to dissapoint, just this:

Locked in at home for the week, so i took the torch and a wirebrush out and stripped my Rivencrust Raleighmanceur tribute bike. I couldn't handle having 2 purple bikes anymore.

Looks even better!

Finally putting this together
