Bought this.

Cost £20.

Bargain!

But it is a bit of a mess in the paint department. :-(

I've gone from the Dave Lloyd to this - and I'm more excited about this challenge if I'm honest!
 
:shock: Someone painted over the factory colour scheme. Were they blind?

Looks like a ice challenge to have though.

I think they were. :-(

Thinking about trying to replicate a GT paintjob on this, but with colours they never used back in 92.

That was my first thought too. I must admit, this wasn't what I was expecting to see when I clicked on the link, given 92' highly-desirable (IMO :)) paintjobs.

I sure am looking forward to what you're going to do with this though. I love your idea of a GT-esque 'splatter' but with unseen/unused colours, I think it'll be very striking!.
 
Good luck with that Rob, when Will first got that I wondered why they painted it but maybe they wanted it a little more subtle for commuting?

What colours have you in mind?
 
Dunno.

I really need the decals but when I asked Gil about my Tequesta he didn't have them on file. No idea about Karakoram though.

Might try the stripe thing OR might go for Richter 8.0 satin black?
 
seeing the factory 'inferno' colourway covered up like that has made a small piece of me die inside...

Hope you do this one some justice, cos of that.. :cool: :D
