Started fitting new and original parts today. First up was a new Shimano bottom bracket And with the help of some new fancy grease... ...the headset Getting the upper and lower head-tube races in the frame was easy enough using a G-clamp and a couple of large square washers, but...

Decal day today Hopefully you can see from the close-up of the Orange logo decal just how good Gil's reproduction decals are. Superb. Thanks Gil. And thanks to Spibblo for sorting out a Stalk stem. Just need to give it a tickle and respray. So I'm not completely out of the spray...

I use google photos. I can tell you how to use google photos if you need.

All sorted thanks to Spibblo. Cheers mate :-)

Will do. Nice one, thanks mate

Re: I could spray your C-16R malt, but you'd only get upset when I refuse to give it back to you :wink: :twisted: :P

Hi, I'm still after one. Not sure about the length. What have you got? Any chance of a picture?

That settles it then brock, no more lacquer. And to be honest with you, I was looking for an excuse not to. Fed up of spraying now! I want to get me spanners out! Thanks CTK, it's getting there. Slowly.

Painting's finished :D Just got a bit of flattening off on the frame with microfine sanding pad and then some polishing compounds, before applying the decals. The forks have had that treatment already. I used them as the guinea pig, seeing as I've never done this before and they...

Definitely Last of the Summer Wine with the kind of antics I get up to. lol.

Re: Hi Malt, I got the paint from St Ouens Motorworks http://stouensmotorworks.co.uk/ It's just before the Farmers Inn on the left-hand side on the way to St Ouens Village from St Peters. Only £6.95 for a 500ml can, best price for the quantity. I used two and bit cans for the forks and frame...

Re: Ahh yes, the dreaded overspray. I only constructed the CSI murder scene tent after the first coat of primer. Did a lot of dusting and swearing. I'm using google photos for the image uploads. The new photos are in the same album as all the others, so they ought to be visible. I'll check the...

Re: Showing ok on my home PC and on my phone. Anyone else?

Finally sorted out the orange paint! No joy from any of the paint suppliers or car body repair places in Jersey, so I've been trying out cans of fluorescent orange paint whenever I've come across them in auto-part shops, paint suppliers and hardware stores, and made a colour sample board as I...

I would do a google search for "used mountain bikes new york". Quite a few results to investigate.

B&Q sell some chunky hooks covered in red rubber, as well as various other hooks in brass and steel. You could also have a look at curtain pole brackets. Ideally you want something thin but strong enough to take the weight, so it's not visually obtrusive. You want to be looking at the frame...

Re: The paint supplier on Amazon cancelled my order :cry: after they said their courier would charge £42 to send to Jersey. :facepalm: I've been in touch with a car body repair company over here to see if they can add some RAL 2005 to their order. Fingers crossed. In the meantime, prepping...

Thanks defender8337. I've tried all paint suppliers in Jersey, and absolutely no one get hold of RAL 2005. I have found someone on Amazon that can, and have ordered 3 cans. I'm now waiting to see if it makes it past customs. I'll be surprised if it does, but got to try. If it doesn't I'll have...
