Nice work thats gonna look great always like Cove bikes had a Handjob back in 2004 although I really wanted a Hustler but didn't have the funds.

I really like the paint scheme you went with, kinda reminds me of specialized frames, looks so much better than plain white

Thanks for the comments! The bike has been in use for a few weeks now but I forgot to post pictures of it finished. I'll post some when I have the time.

Thanks! Unfortunately the finish is not as durable as I had hoped for. Still looks good but has some chips already.

Re:

Excellent write up.

End product looks very good too.

What was the total spend roughly?

Re:

Thanks! I can't remember exactly what I paid for the different parts but I quess with the frame +parts +paint etc it was something like 500eur all together.

Seems like a good deal, especially when you factor in the satisfaction...
