Free Respray Anyone?

Hi my name is Jason Rourke from Brian Rourke Cycles in Stoke on Trent.

We hand build all types of frames including road, track, single speed, cross, MTB every frame is built by myself in Staffordshire.

I shall soon be building a test frame for Reynolds Technology in Birmingham in the new 931 stainless. The bike will be built by us and used for testing and probably ridden a lot by my Dad Brian. and then go for more tests at Reynolds etc. It will probably be a geared road frame, but that is undecided yet.

My question is would lfgss members be interested in a competition to design the colour for it? Whoever wins (online poll?) will get their frame resprayed in the same colour free of charge by me.

If anyone is interested please post how would you like to run it etc.

this has to be in a pearlescent gorgeous baby blue with yellow fade as a nod to this forum's early days

i'd leave it stainless, far too nice to paint over

Red & white stripes?

Paint it black.

Before we get down to technicals, can I just thank you for joining up and being an active member in London's premier crumble appreciation society, inclusive with the London cat fanciers guild.

p.s. gorgeous baby blue/rattle can it black.

Translucent candy-apple red over polished stainless, leaving head lugs uncovered polished stainless, fast-back stays, lugs lined in white.

like my lovely bike.

LOL, Like this one??? Always comes back to footy,

Yeah, I was thinkin more for the Southampton, Sunderland, Brentford and Exeter fans amongst us ;-)

As Murts said i think the paintjob should incorporate some sort of visible element of stainless

Whatever you do dont replicate the paint job you did for that BBC Guy!

+1!

LOL I won't!! Some like it some hate it.

As we try to make frames look different etc. this also means we or customers chose a few we don't like, good thing is doesn't take long to repaint them LOL

Thanks for the welcome Mechamorgan!

leave the Brian Rourke lettering in stainless, showing through the paint and outline them in black.

i like your work (and your old mans)
a friend has a deda eom-16 race bike (in pale blue/orange gulf Porsche colours) another is soon to order a stainless.

Cheers

baby blue and orange

This ^

Whatever colour it ends up, I love it when the steel is masked off so some of it is visible in the finished paint job.

Like the raw lower half of this, but I'd also do your logo..

baby blue and orange

He's not respraying a Calippo mate!

Keep the seat and chain stay raw too

definitely mask off the logo decals/rear end up tot hte tup tube and downtube. maybe some stripes either side of the logo tooto make the box band... and finally the colour... dark foresty green.

this for sure...

if i had the time i would cad it up but i don't

Leave everything stainless on the main triangle, except bands on the down and seat tube in black. Mask the Rourke lettering so that it is stainless and leave the red center for the "o". Then black for the rear triangle and forks (I take it they are carbon).

Is it going to be all 931? Or just the stays, tig welded to 953?

fluoro pink and neon yellow tartan.

like this, but different.
:)

I will/can leave the back end stainless, we did leave the main frames tubes also in stainless but the trouble with this is the bottle bosses, we only silver solder them in now as we have had trouble with the rivet type and they look poor.
I can leave the Brian Rourke / Rourke stainless only trouble with that is there is a build up of paint primer, base coat colours then laquer so there is a definite edge. we did laquer our transfers onto the stainless but stone chips and water get to this after a while as the laquer doesn't grip to bare metal like it does to paint, we've tried many preps etc but none last long term

Is it going to be traditional geo, or sloping? Carbon fork or steel?
