'My little despot balance bike' - Talbot Frameworks

This is Talbot Ph test card works.

Velocity aeroheat rim. Not normally a massive fan of velocity stuff to be honest, but nothing tastier exists in 16", so here we are!

this bike deserves these wheels!

16" is already pushing it, we are jumping from 12". Carbon will be in the next iteration.

Slightly acidic.

Just like my daughter.

Looks like one of those stages of dehydration pee charts.

Just the fork to go, will start that after work today I think. Or drink myself into a stupor. Will probably flip a coin

This is inspired.

Actually, it isn't - that's another brand entirely.

tartybikes.co.uk have loads, the jitsie 108 is silly loud, I like mine.

Paint..

Bought the clickster in the end. Pleasingly loud.

Below is the paint that will be used. Daughter chose obvs

I guess pleasingly loud is nearly as good as painfully loud.

I LOVE the fuchsia!

Fuscia is to try and match the turn cranks. Rose should match the headset. It may work. Maybe.

The fuchsia's bright!

Ahah, Specialist Paints. I'm currently using their Pink Fantasy pearl to paint Niece #2's balance bike. Done the primer/base/colour coats, just waiting for the colour coat to go off before doing the clear coat. She emphatically wanted it to be pink.

Too subtle?

Great firm, have always been easy to deal with. Between them and stockwell motors I have never wanted for anything.

Is that the one you were talking about building ages ago?

Yep. Hence the rather agricultural welding. My TIG welding is a bit rusty, to say the least.

Shouldn't have left it exposed to the elements then should you!

.....I'll get my coat
