My long overdue Neil Orrell build

Where is the green and gold?

Ooosh. Noice.

Tiny tiny bits on the 531 sticker which is being recreated in paint rather than being a sticker so the finish is completely flat with no raised decals.

Good plan, posting it up here while everyone's currently distracted by telling @HoKe to do with his Look.

Noice

And here's the rainbow flake..

So excited for sparkles!

With the slow build on my tarck bike this will probably finish before mine! =(

I have owned this frame for a few years and done nothing, it's definitely a slow burner.

The frame is now primed.. Ahhh, so excited!!

When's the paint going on? Looking forward to seeing this!

Imminently, it's in a queue though so not sure exactly.

@Cazakstan Urgent decal detail!!

The 531 sticker put there (on your paint image) is clashy with the rear-facing Neil Orrell diamond. It will look weird. Neil puts them somewhere else, and I reckon maybe you might like to as well. On mine the decal ('531 designer select') has been put near the BB, I will check which tube but I think it's the front facing part of the seat tube. I will check tonight!

(lovely job you're doing here btw. I too was recently wondering where Pete's Orrell had ended up ...)

Yep! Seat tube. I hope this news is not taken as Current Project Nazi behaviour... I love decals...

Oh..

Ehh the 531 sticker on mine is at the top, with original paint. Either top or bottom will work in my opinion, I kind of like how it looks at the top within the triangle though.

Agreed.

Nah, whoever put mine down the bottom could see that the clashy with the lovely lozenge Neil Orrell logo was duff.

See!?

They're watching us repaint our Hellenic frames and get the decals a bit wrong but that's what they want, sheeple!

Just caught up on this thread!

Part of me wants it back. But mostly I'm happy it's getting the attention it deserves. Should look great.

The 531 sticker was at the top originally by the way, so at the top seems only fitting.

Oh well I stand corrected by the majority.

Mine looks better.
