The Two Bicycles of Varonha.

That’s it!! 👌 allegedly Mario’s favourite colour

Will have a chinwag with Winston then in the new year. Ta.

Found a picture of the colour - this 👌

Narrowed down colour selection to two options
Ral 6004 blue green
Or
Ral 4003 heather violet
Whichever I choose will have a metallic finish.

My money's on the 4003

Funny name for something that’s not violet at all. Very bubblegum. Either colour will look great though

Red bikes are fastest but pink bikes win 😉

Nah, that would be ral 350 70 35.

Not sure my chart covers that code 🤔😄

I like to use this site to get a better idea of how a colour looks on a bike, because it has a mix of silver and black next to it.

That link is quite useful, cheers.
I don't have a chart, but have spent (too) many hours on the RAL website!

RAL codes are normally only four digits

If you go on the RAL website, look at design colours, rather than classic.

I'd rather not. I am not exactly spoiled for choices at my only available coater and I will just fall in love with something I can't have

Very true, sometimes there's just too much choice.

And we are go!
Winston just emailed, he's got all the tubes, and is making a start this week. Hopefully I'll have some pics to share soon.
Happy new year all.

Now it starts to get exciting!
Hot off the presses.

Gonna be selling a set of wheels soonish, so thought I'd spam my own thread before doing a classifieds ad.
Probably be the Pacenti Forza rims on Hope RS4 hubs, if you're interested gimme a shout.

It begins! I might have to find an excuse to nip into Winston's and sneak a peek.

Would be nice to nip in for a look-see and a brew, but a 7-8hr round trip can't really be classed as a nip!

7-8 hrs ain't even a pop.
You could certainly schlep round.

More pics from Winston.

You are just going to rust it and then clear coat on top of the flux and everything aren't you?

Ritchey dropouts are perfect

Ritchey dropouts are indeed perfect.
No, this time it's getting a good covering of a coloured powder coat. My original Varonha probably needs some attention, a few rust spots have started to appear, so will get it back to Winston in the summer so he can have a look and send it either upstairs to Mario or down the road to Aurum (depending what colour/finish I go for), may get him to alter a couple of things while he's got it, but will chat with him about that when I go down to pick this one up.

:)

Seems fine to me ; )
