Hello my retro friends, I want to share my latest project, it has been a while since the last.
I wanted to try a 650B + for some time and when my loved Honzo 2012 broke at the chainstays it was the perfect moment.
It had to be a bit of a budget build, so not to expensive frame, reusing the Honzo parts and some other used part.
The frame is a Dartmoor Primal, bought at a really nice price from Slam69.
It came in a rather nice paint scheme, but I always wanted to do a retro paintjob on a modern frame, some reversed reromod.
And this frame was perfect for this. I used Plastidip, its a rubber compund in a spray.
It doesn't need sanding the frame and you can peal it of when you're fed up with it.
I choose the colours which were my favourite in the end of the '80 / begin '90.

Get your shades on and enjoy, I know I do :)

With the colours tuned back a little the splatter is visible better.

Re:

Finished, pretty happy withe the result. :cool:
The camera has a lot of trouble catching the neon.
These pics are as close as I can get but the colours are way better in real life.
But you get the idea hopefully :)

Like how you sprayed the forks while they were still together :)

Re:

Some pics in the wild.
Really lovely ride, size is spot on and tons of grip.
2.6 rear and 2.8 front atm but have a 3.0 so will test with 2.8 and 3.0
