Taseful build. Larrveely colour....

I have a dilema...

With this, I like the paint, but it's reallllllllly tatty, loads of scratches bits of rust etc.

Would cleaning up and masking the chrome, then matte blacking the rest of it be completely unforgiveable? It's meant to be a bit of a sleeper/beater anyway... just can't decide whether to leave it.

I love the matte black & chrome thang.

I don't see how tatty paint on a beater is a problem.

Yeah but around the corner is the real beater project, something i won't care about leaving unattended. This^ i do worry about, plus I really enjoy iy. Such a good ride feels like it deserves a bit of TLC.

and I think it will look triplebadass in black.

Nice teapot.

Enough brakless skidding. I got this, and binned almost all of it.

Don't still have the black stem by any chance? Really need something like that

Really nice job on the Claud Butler, great colour and practical for the lucky person who's getting it, my Mrs would love that.

bosh. it's done, taped the bars drunk so will re-do them, and rode it this morning only to find it needed some tinkering in places - think she's ready for 205km of dusty italian roads!

Nice one T, thats a beauty!

thanks man - am pleased with it - the other project is primed now - all the bits are at the office, just need to get the frame stripped so i can assemble it - probably a couple of weeks!

...always a win.

Looks very nice... questioning myself now- I'm sure I've seen you on this, on crab lane?

^^is that the one with the crazy short wheelbase? Are you leaving the Frame raw?

maybe - my folks live on old barber so i ride down there occasionally - we need to get round to going for a spin!

yup, going with raw for the moment, can always respray a real colour later - still rather concerned it's too twitchy to ride every day

it does mean i have a 2 raw, a plain ti and a silver bike - shades of grey it is then!

Saracen is about to undergo yet another transformation

Btw Pistanator that looks awesome.

I get the warm fuzzy feeling of familiarity. It's like back in 2007.

I like.

Should look a bit less like a scoblebike once it's rebuilt.
