funk pro comp build/ now complete :)

[stevede]

ok so i had one of these last year and very stupidly sold it to get another bike maybe my worst choice in a good while
i managed to find another that was bare alloy ready to either polish or paint. if im honest i really dont think polish does these frames justice so she was always going to be painted.
I normally do all my own paint work but due to covid booth access has been very hard to obtain so had to send this one off to a friend. The funk is not going to be stock colours but still whacky bright 90s look to it.
build wise will be m900 mechs brakes shifters and a lot of turquoise
Don't have that many images to share as of yet but a quick primer/base shot will update as i go

It's an early one. I guess somewhere around '91 as it still has the welded seat clamp and screw in cable stops but unlike my '90 Pro Comp there's a welded stop for the front mech.

Do you have a paint scheme in mind?

i have limited knowledge to be fair swede so thanks for that info i am yet to see the frame in the flesh but its going green rear faded into pink middle faded back to green front looks very like a twister lolly lol

You have a great frame there Steve I bet you are happy with that. The paint scheme sounds mad, but they were originally loud and bright so I'm sure it will fit in with other Funks. I can envisage this being something special.

i wanted to keep the mad crazy bright colours and from the pics ive seen so far it looks bonkers lol
i have 90 percent of the parts ringle kooka ect but a ringle stem is still playing hard to get

yes buddy problem is i need low rise and short like 120 or below so not easy to find

Iirc dreschler57 has a load of ringle stems, but judging by recent posts he will probably want a pretty penny for one

 

[Swede]

I'm looking forward to seeing it! What fork are you planning on putting with it?

Whilst you're all reading this... we need some more Funk fanboy votes as I want a badge
