Autostrada Repray of my Geoffrey Butler

Just thought I'd report back after having my Geoffrey Butler Track Frame Resprayed by Autostrada, well picked up the frame this morning and I'm very impressed, the whole job has taken just under two weeks and I'm very pleased (pictures below)

Mike has been great at keeping me up to date and charged £85 all in which including brazing up the rear brake bridge hole, applying the transfers (but not the actual transfers as I got them from GB in Croydon direct and they were NOS.

The finish is flawless and to give the paint a real kick he did it in pearlescent White which you can hardly notice but just adds to the finish.

John, this is lovely!!!

Wonderful that you have managed to get it into such a good state!

Cheers Iain,

This wasn't the red GB Frame, but the track frame I showed you when you were up when it was in filler primer.

Wait til you see it in the flesh, might have to come a try the L2B with you if I can get it built in time this year? I'll be walking up Ditchling though....lol

That looks the nuts! Lovely job.

Youll turn it around in no time! And then we can both ride our new frames to Brighton. Nothing better than doing that on a beauty that glides over the tarmac and cuts through the air!!!

I love walking up ditchling. I hear the magic gear is 44x19 so maybe next time i do it like that;-)
