Just got back and put her together, gotta say this colour is luuuurvly!!
This bikes a surprise for my girlfriend and its torture try to keep quiet about it.
Rubbish pics for now, I'll get some better ones when shes finished and the suns shining.
For reference this is RAL5024 with lacquer. + lacquer on polished aluminium forks (lost a little bit of gleam but still looks great)
frame, forks x2 (originals done in blue as well), 3 piece brake and bars all in for 75squid at Armourtex job done.
v.nice Big Foot. I am rebuilding an old Carlton and was thinking of getting a pale blue similar to this, or an old english cream colour (as yet i'm undecided!). Did you have any issues with the bars fitting the stem after powder coating? I always thought powder coating would have added an extra mm or so to the overall circumference, making it a bit of a force fit and prone to scratching on fitting? . .
