Current Projects chat and miscellany

Regardless whether the paint job is too the buyers taste or not, there has to be some recognition of how unique and unusual it is. Look at that detail on the top tube. That's exquisite!

Unique and unusual no?

Ha, I remember when you'd just got that gorgeous bike and you said in current projects that you thought the paintjob was "gay"* and you were gonna foffa it. Many wise people advised you a) not to be such a macho/homophobic weirdo and b) for the love of Sheldon not to kill the puppy.

I can't beleive you're such a twunt.

*I'm 75% sure that's what you said

Homophobic weirdo, twunt etc... cheers, I'm sure I deserve this for paintig MY own bike.

You are clearly a prick!

If you liked neither the colour nor the original groupset, then why even buy it in the first place? Crying shame

For one it was cheap and for two the shifter/levers is all I have changed from the original groupset and all I intend to.

Planning to get it powdercoated in RAL5021 with all the chrome masked off, new decals all round (same as the original), New Mavic Open Pro CD rims, veloflex gum wall tyres, polished period seat post and maybe white saddle/bar tape. Unfortunately I don't have the money for all this yet so at the moment it's bodged. Shit happens.
