I've only ever had two painted, both by Argos in Bristol. The price varies depending on what you want doing, but both jobs have been absolutely perfect, can recommend.

The light green is SO good eh. I don't have any firm plans other than the next bike I have painted will likely go this colour.

Hi, Does anyone know the exact paint used in the Fat Chance Chameleon Metallica paint scheme? Not my photos (nor my bike, more's the pity), but this is what I'm on about: Cheers, Neil.

I reckon you might be right @grantoury - that looks great. I might just bite the bullet and buy a few different types. Can always return the ones that don't match. It might seem a bit anal this, but I've got it in my head that the saddle and bar tape should pick out that lug lining. Will...

Thanks for the kind comments guys. I was looking at Brooks, but it feels like I'll end up buying a saddle to match the bar tape!! Thin end of the wedge situation... That Ritchey stuff does look close-ish.

Thanks Lee, much appreciated!

Hi all, Interloper from the MTB forum here. I recently acquired an early '90s Arthur Caygill tourer, which I've done a light resto on - basically just a major service and a really good clean. I fitted a Flite Bullitt saddle and some modern Fizik bar tape, but the browns are way off. Long shot...

Phew!

I could absolutely be wrong - it was about 6 or 7 years ago I was talking to them about it. Defo worth double checking.

It was certainly the case that they used to outsource painting, but they can definitely do it in house now. Think it's powdercoat using RAL colours. I contacted Bob Jackson about repainting my Caygill MTB back in 2018, and I have to say that whoever was on the other end of the email was pretty...

That's cool. I've a massive soft spot for Caygills, I seem to be starting a rescue shelter for them! Would love to see some more detailed pics of this - looks to be TIG not brazed.

Hi, I'm possibly interested, depending on details. Postage is likely prohibitive.

Fantastic! So glad you've still got t'ord lass.

Exactly like that one! Shame it's so far away!

Thank you both, that's exactly the sort of thing I was looking for. Brilliant!

Aaaaaages ago I found a scan online of a colour sample sheet from a framebuilder - I want to say it was someone like Dave Yates. For the life of me I cannot find it again. It had all the classic custom colours - "Flam Green", "Viola Metallic" etc. Can anyone help me find it again please? I'm...

I'm sorry to read this. John was a huge part of MBUK and hence a huge part of my childhood/youth.

I love the paint scheme and the logos, and the bike looks to be in really good condition!
