What it used to look like, very aged paint, extra stickers.
80s Saracen 531c frame for the taller gent. Fresh from the blasters (glass bead) and ready for paint. Also just for shot sitting on 27" wheels borrowed from my 'jackson. Sits better on 27 than it does on 700, though probably no space for mud guard with bigger tyres on the 27s.
Currently sat in phosphate, ready to powder coat, reasonable choice of colours going, had a minor dent in top tube (near seat cluster) filled. Probably around the £130 mark?
64x58 frame = 531c forks =531 with shimano SF dropouts and an SCM crown.
Was going to go for a clear powder coat, but dent fill would be obvious. Will get a list up of colours that can be done tomorrow. Anyone want?
EDIT>>>>
Picture when fresh from blast.
staining is from where dog licked it as I came through the door with it!
