Current Projects chat and miscellany

Ha ha I saw the graffiti frame, reminds me of the GT's from mid 90's they were all graffiti paintjobs, I had a Tequesta, and a friend had a Karakoram... good times!

I was told its a 98/99 model so after the Trek buyout, but before they moved the factory, its a 1 1/8" headset. Very tempted by red anodised parts for it, already have some x-lite stubby barends in red, and Hope do a nice line in bits and bobs...
There is some orange on the forks/seatpost so red/gold or maybe purple might work for bits...

Whats wrong with just riding the frame in bare metal? I've got an Alu road bike which I've ridden bare metal (in the wet too) for 6 months. Its still nice. Not as shiny as before but its fine.
