please say that is not the same bike.....

the 'before' is one of the sweetest paintjobs ive ever seen!

+1

and all that lovely chrome gone.......weeps!

Do you want to sell that Flite Saddle by the way?

Oh.....

Covered the chrome up with electrical tape. No puppies killed there.

IMO the original paint job was bent.

Air brush paint jobs are for truck convensions.

Will be getting it powdercoated soon with the chrome all masked off.

Oh yeah, might be up for selling the Flite. Gonna give it a few miles and see if I like it first tho.

Well at least you masked the Chrome. Still looked a really interesting, fairly unusual paintjob - I would've kept it for sure - different strokes.

Just saw this in google images, under; what you talking bout willis. Jokes!

Why buy second hand when you could have a new one?

Each to their own but that was porn before

I'm blown away by how many people like that paint job! Maybe I should have offered it up for a swap but the paint wasn't in the best condition anyway.

Cheers for the offer, but i can't afford to drop £45 on a saddle at the mo...
Plus there are new ones on the bay for £35 (maybe not titanium rails, but i'm not a weight weenie).

one of these is on its way to me

Sweet! I had one - lovely bikes.

Covered the chrome up with electrical tape. No puppies killed there.

but you sprayed the whole back end red too..the original looks chrome to me?

imo the original paint job was bent.

wtf.

The electrical tape is still on there with the chrome all lovely and shiny underneath I even gave it a polish before wrapping it up. As i'm gonna be riding it in the shitty weather I thought it would be better protected that way.

Only joshing with you, how does it ride?

Rode it like this for a week (original paintwork went within hours) and it was really nice appart from the bars were really uncomfortable when on the drops. I don't know how they are meant to be positioned and I'm sure I've tipped them too far up now but I'm used to a more modern set up. + went for the STIs. I've never had a geared road bike and I didn't like having the shifters on the down tube.

Also, in my deffence, it had one of these on each side of the top tube.

And you got rid of it????!

EPIC FAIL!

you don't have defense...

Ah well, It wasn't for me and I reckon it's going to look rad when it's powder coated and got all new decals etc
