1989 Overbury's Pioneer

[mogli]

Hello Everybody!

I have just bought this frameset from flash.
I would like to repaint the frameset and could not find any catalogues
on this site.
Has anybody any pics etc, from that era?
Many thanks!

Welcome Mogli! The tatty looking grey frame and forks with the yellow decals in LeGrandeFromages' post above is mine... It shouldn't be like that for much longer though. I can recommend Gil_M for decals, he's supplied my new ones. He's a member on here.

Overbury's did a lot of nice two-tone jobs as well as classy single colours so I reckon you can more or less pick what you want for an "authentic" look. Glad to see someone bought that singlespeed Overbury's frame in the end - it was tempting me since it was first advertised... :roll:

Nice frame, but shame about the ss conversion :roll:

I have seen this frame before the paint was applied, and i have to say it really is in great shape. I think it will make a very nice build.

Also if you did decide to go back to gears, it wouldnt be that expensive imho.

Looking forward to seeing how you build this one....

Thank you very much!

When it comes to fillet brazed handbuilt bikes it is really hard to resist.
I was thinking a little bit to long about the "Riddler" frameset :cry: and than the PioneerSS popped up...
Berlin is really flat so it is not to bad having a SS.

I really like the orange-grey color sheme of legrandefromage...
and I thing I am going to chosse the two color faded sheme as Rich34 suggested.

I will study the links and keep you updated when the process starts.
Thanks again for the input!
Cheers

Hopefully he's sorted by now...

But if you could post details for colours and images of other models that would be great.
