Well 89 actually. With a flake. Stripped and assessed. I'd say that's the worst of it. Bit of kurust and a touch-up required.

Just off out to the model shop. More on my return.

Re: 99 Ice Cream Cone

Back with acrylic art paint kit and tins of humbrol enamel. Lots of fun ahead. Well, threaded actually but that doesn't make any sense.

Looks tidy at a distance...



But under top tube:



Will have a play with the kurust. Tubes are solid. I think.

Re: 99 Ice Cream Cone

Bottom bracket cups and balls are shot. Was an absolute pig to get out. Luckily i have a spare so will polish up the old axle and swap everything else across.
 
Re: 99 Ice Cream Cone Kona Splatter and Rust

And that’s before I paint it.
 
Re: 99 Ice Cream Cone Kona Splatter and Rust

I like how it looks like a crime scene. Involving a bludgeoning. By a crazed Manson type gang.
 
Re: 99 Ice Cream Cone Kona Splatter and Rust

Something i have noticed is that the fork steerer shows the original yellow to be a nice vivd bright one, rather than the mustard that is has become everywhere on view. I think i might just try overpainting it all in the original colour coppying the splatter. What could possibly go wrong?
 
Re:

Spokes are really nasty rusty so I thought i'd see what was in the loft. Look what i found! Period correct Araya/exage with a ground control on the back and a muddy fox on the front. Even has a nice cassette with good range. They need a good clean but run true and smooth.

Should the spoke protector go? It's a bit imposing/ :shock:

That's what it says on the tin.
