Stiff-up your brush: paint porn

Do I spy a close ratio cassette on that rat fink?!

Undoing and adjusting sliding dropouts, changing sprocket, tensioning chain, and tightening dropouts is a bloody run around for not using a derailleur!

No, I think it has swirly cutouts in the sprocket. You can see the orange (King or Hope?) hub through it.

That asking price... almost £900?

9.300.000 Indonesian Rupiah is 480 pounds ;)

Edit, damn didn't see I was on a previous page.

^?? V nice
Why does it have 1981 and 1985 on it?
Should surely be a Look?

It's a Donhou, and it's a Bernard Hinault tribute so it incorporates the years of all five of his Tour wins (apparently, not sure where the others are).

I thought it look lovely, I really hope it have a matching curved fork to suit it.

Lovely, that.

Every time I check this thread I hope to see something on a par with THAT spesh shiv. But no. Don't get me wrong. I've not found anything close.

^ Nice, close up of the paint reveals a sort of granite effect:

I do admire the technical skill in some of these paint jobs but sometimes a good old fashioned two block-colour scheme does the job for me. I think this looks lovely.

I'm really interested in the 1950s/60s hammerite-like finish that you get on industrial and laboratory equipment. Seems to come in a blue and a verdegris green. Suspect that copper might be involved. Does anyone know what that is and where you can get it?

I normally hate fades, but the speckle/spatter effect here is delightful.

I think that it is exactly that, Hammerite (in the "hammered" finish) or a similar competing product: http://www.hammerite.co.uk/products/direct_to_rust_metal_paint_hammered_finish.jsp
You can get it in spray cans in a couple of colours.

might be to somebodys taste. yes, it has a matching enve fork, but I don't want to post that photo, it's just boring.

Or is it anti...? Can't decide.
