frame respray back from mercian

pearlescent loveliness

as it was....

looks beautiful man, surprising what the right paintjob can do for a frame, mine was back from bob a few weeks ago in gorgeous black metallic, its as if the fluoro-green was a distant nightmare.. Now its just the challenge of getting the "right" parts to do the frame justice........

Black nitto gruppo going spare anyone???

incidentally, kudos on robs stickers....

cheers andy - well pleased with it [tho' i was beginning to get to like the lairy paint job before it went, bugger to match components to tho']

how far off you on getting yours done? get some photos up fella!!

Powder coat ?

Looks like someone poured some cream over it.

Excuse my ignorance and inability to interpret the thread title, but where did you get this done and what did it cost ?

Cheers

wayne old man,

I'm drowning in parts for this build, it was ultimately my intention to get a black nitto gruppo from 2warmy and match it to my cta phil deep v wheels and sugino75 - now the nitto goodness seems to have evaporated I'm tempted to anodize some vintage campy cranks - oh the sacrilege - when i do the nitto gear....

photos in good time my man, Buddhas thread is going well but if we all did it this place'd be like a garden shed...

what're the chances of some sweet frame decals for a few projects that are coming together???

socialamnesia what're the chances of some sweet frame decals for a few projects that are coming together???

no worries, let me know what you had in mind and i'l lget a sketchin. have you checked out the black white industries crankset ? i'm getting the polished set for my build - sweetness.

Yum.
Looks great man. Hey I'll have to wait for the Hall as Saturday's payment is late.
Maybe next week?
By the way. Toby mentioned you gave me props at the Blake thing. Thanks!

stripping, prepping and painting included - stove enamel white, got the pearlescent finsh [£60 plain, £80 pearl] and about 20 notes for courier there and back. Got it done at mercian cycles up in derby, they did a great job but it is about a 4 week turnaround.

bit more durable finsh then Vaz's and armourtex but it does cost a bit more, but as it's going to be me 'posh' bike thought i'd splash the cash

Cheers !
