New cow in the shed....Indy Fab content!

[RawBikeCo]

I've recently realised that we don't own bikes but we are mearly custodians for a while, some we have longer than others. My Yeti ARC I've had since 95' and it's referred to in the family as our oldest child (besides me!). Other ones you see and lust over, and some, by a weird twist of fate, you get the opportunity to get your sweaty mitts on.

That was the case when in a casual conversation not even bike related I was offered this awesome Indy Fab Deluxe in Holstein Cow paint......can't tell you how much I love this frame and it's not even built yet.

Hopefully progress will be rapid on this one and not my ususl glacial timescales! I've got most of the parts so I just need to get a stem/bar combo sorted. Other than that it just needed a good detailed clean & polish.....it's an old race bike so a bit battle scared but with great patina. All I've done so far is flat and polish the paint, taken off a few of the touch ups and clear laquered the deeper scratches to protect the frame. I'm going to use this so needs to be protected but also keep it's history and wear alive.

Very greatfull to Kingroon who seams to be eternally linked to this frame

This needs to be a full cream build. Don't skim on the details. Udderly delightful. We're all churning to see how it ends up.

Don't get distracted and go tits up while trail mates are kow-tow'ing over your lovely frame. <gets coat>

Grab it by the horns and ride it. I like that a lot.
