After a bath in a mixture of boiling water, Viakal and Brasso, my drops, seatpost, seatclamp bolt and crankset are all shiny again...

it took you 4 hours to get out?

it was stuck! (this is my 1st fixed-conversion/refurb..i'm still learning!)

No sunrace is pretty much all low end stuff.

cheers.. any suggestions for replacements?

I know you don't want to hear it mate, but you should just sell the decals and sack the whole respray thing. It's not a good enough frame to warrant the money. Plus the decals won't last that well anyway because you can't lacquer over them.

The other option is to get Vaz to respray it with enamel. But thats in South London.... and altho he's cheap it will cost more. Closer to £100 i'd guess.

Just ride it, enjoy it, and sort out your saved searches on ebay and buy something better later on.

other options? its my first fixed conversion/refurbishment so I am determined to do it. can i just spray paint over the chips? also what is the best way to get the stickers and residue off?

the bike is currently completely bare i.e. no bb, no headset

does anyone know if armourtex do colourways ? i.e. 2 colours on the frame?

Hi all...

just wondering if anyone has powdercoated a frame 2 colours? basically this is what I want...

any tips?

live in islington (armourtex said they dont do 2 colours...)

Tahnks

FUCKING YES

BB removed after 4 hours of elbow grease...! c'mon the team Banana, you're ready for Armourtex!

does anyone know if this is a good bb?

I'm interested too...

awesome gear ratio, not much skidding though? i have 48/16 fixed and im 6 foot 2, its a pain to get going but once you get going cruising at fairly high speed is quite relaxed which is 'mint'.

I had 42/16 on my OTP Plug and hated it both fixed and free. I then upped to 46/16 with a TA chainring and was more pleased but still, too much spinning. I think 52/17 fixed is my favourite so far... But you are right, a bit of a pain at the lights.

that looks really nice appolloxl love the pentagram look cranks

tbh I was a bit apprehensive about using 52/16 free or 52/17 fixed in the city, but I'm 6'5 and have been getting along just fine ! It's so fast!

i think this is the hottest colorway, but drop the yellow tire ok? thanks

I think the yellow tire really suits it on the back!

Quick update on the Team Banana! Apart from the Stronglight cranks/ 52t chainring everything else will be original... will be taking it to powdercoaters soon to get a fresh paintjob..then the decals are waiting paitiently! I'm in the process of polishing bars, seatpost etc but can't wait to ride it again!
