Hi guys

A new build I have started, I have never documented a full build from scratch on a bike.

Frame kindly came from corduroy boy (Giles) and many parts will be liberated from Longun on this no shimano build.

I wanted a full resto on this one so decided to go with some wilder colours... 20230604_150359.jpg 20230604_165900.jpg

Total time on the frame has been about 18 hours from start to finish. The amount of flatting between coats on this has been ridiculous making sure it is as near perfection as I can get.

The air brush work in the rear was a long process building up the tinter and getting the pearl coat even on both drop outs.

:cool:

When you said you were painting the components to match I did wonder which ones, apparently all of them :)
