thanks for the link rob, however i dont think any of your pics are quite close/detailed enough to copy from.

I can help with the decals as I have an almost mint condition Extreme, PM your email address and tomorrow I will send over some pics and dimensions.

That would be a great help, I'll pm you now

Cheers, sean

No comments? will have to do another update then


today i looked at the bars and the stem. both have been cleaned, touched up on the scratches and re-lacquered.

The stem has had a new quil bolt fitted, the rusty (bottle cage bolts?) removed, and the pinch bolt has been cleaned of all it's rust

7 cans of paint? looks worth it. how hard is it to get a good rattle can finish?

Not this tuesday, but hopefully soon.... Theres a bike ride on the 16th i think for everyone at the Bristol bike project, would be good to take the haro and call it a test ride but probably wont have it finished by then

to be honest i dont think the finish would have been any better if i had it powdercoated, its had a lot of coats but it does look impressive..... after 7 cans worth of paint its easily stronger than the last paintjob that argos did for me and i doubt i would bother with powdercoaters again after this.... the prepwork though was a nightmare, it took forever to get it right

hhmmm....cheers for the reply. i have stripped and polished ali frames but not yet had a go at repainting steel. did think of a two tone job on a frame i have but one solid colour is going to be easier.
keep up the good work on that build,looking good so far.
