Finished!!
After wondering whether to get the front triangle yellow-to-red fade in wet paint (expensive) or a grey powdercoat (cheap) I finally went with a ‘factory’ finish (free!) Looks nicer in the flesh when you can see the contrast with the polished Amp rear and top-tube cable guides more clearly
What I ended up with is what I like to think of as a kind of Kamikaze prototype, the sort of bike you'd see a small picture of in the news section of BIKE or MTB.
Not had chance to ride it in anger yet and probably never will since I value my teeth but I’ll take it for some light XC duty soon. I’m looking forward to seeing how the famous AMP back-end rides...
Thanks to the people who helped and to those who may recognize parts they’ve sold me for this build.
