Geek Bike Family

I think I'm going to do this:

Yes very good. Done by Steve who used to paint for Armourtex. Same colours available. Stayer is working on a sample board like they had in Armoutex so you can see special powders etc.
I would ask Sam at Stayer to do the modding for you and send the frame to paint via him. Might be cheaper and less hassle.

Nice one, thanks.

No doubt Stayer would do a great job on the mods, but I spoke to Marty about who was bast placed to do them in the UK and he recommended Gav. I've spoken to Gav, and as well as being a great guy his rates are super reasonable, so the only hassle will be getting the frameset to Norfolk.

Or a fade like this

Custom geekhouse racks?

They don't offer them anymore

That's a shame, what are you thinking instead?

Probably Tubus. What is the front rack you have on your CDF?

tubus tara and a surly 24 pack

whereabouts in Norfolk?

Norwich

More paint inspiration

This is probably going for a repair and a respray at Stayer in the next couple of weeks. Colour wise, it is a toss up between RAL 6003 and RAL 3015. Finishing kit is black. Does anyone have an opinion?

Er yes. I have an opinion. That fade. Do that fade.

any idea what the RAL on this is?

No - the closest I can see is RAL 3015, but that isn't quite right. Must be a custom colour.

Ral 6003 matte is the decision. I dropped the bike off with Sam at Stayer for a minor repair - what a thoroughly man. Ditto the guys at SBC who stripped the bike down and will rebuild it.

Back from Aurum

Just to reiterate - Sam at stayer is an incredibly nice man. Will definitely do business with him again. If you are going to bespoked then stop by his stand.

Seconded

With decals. I put them on - don’t look too closely as I think they are a bit squint.

In for the build up with SBC again. Got a Swift Industries Bandito bar bag and Moto tool roll for this.

Nearly done.

To finish

• Compass Barlow tyres
