Oak Cycles 853 road project

Needs levelling.

If that requires more hours stretching and working on flexibility, then tough titty.

One thing that might be worth keeping in mind is if you want to pull attention to the frame (and it's nice details) make it a light colour/shade. You will see lugs, contours and shadows more.

^^ damn right. Good chopping (apart from the seatpost)!

what is wrong with the layforward, setback post?

Nothing.

Chopping = photoshoping. Please do try to keep up.

:)

Is this French (Gaston)?

Now torn between this colour

and the one on this bike

if you're torn; two tones?

but then there's so many more decisions.

I'm not looking forward for my turn.

I'm rather content with metallic grey, hopefully I'll stick to it when the time come.

I'm also being indecisive about where to get it painted. I'm really tempted to get it 2 tone, but Atlantic Boulevard is so expensive. Where else is good?

Turquoise.

Purple looks like a bell-end.

Argos.

bodie beat me to it

perhaps do the whole bike in the colour of reproductive bits

it would then be one fucked up bike

Get it stickered up.

This way you won't have to worry about the paint... at all.

sticky sex bike?

Get an hard oxide coating, you know you wanna. Paint is old hat.

Didn't wharry just get his Borghini done at Armourtex?

It looks mint.

Seeing that it's fillet brazed, I reckon you can get away with powdercoat.

It's not getting powder coated.

There's nothing wrong with how that Borghini looks?

People seem to underestimate what you can do with powder. Most british firms work with industrial stuff mainly, so just have flat colours in stock. But you can do translucent, sparkle and textured coatings.
