Hey folks,
Following my successful build of my first Merlin Malt, I decided to build another one.
This will be a "use what you have" build, born out of the realisation that I had enough parts to build another bike. I just needed a frame, and so kept an eye out for bargains. Along came another Malt and so it begins.
While the first Malt was sprayed by a professional, for this, I decided to try my hand at spraying. I watched some videos by Old Shovel, and looked into Spray.Bike paints.
The colour scheme had to fulfil 3 criteria:
1) be a colour scheme I hadn't already had on a bike
2) be different to the modern trend of black,white or camo
3) be possible with Spray.Bikes range of colours.
I played around with designs in photoshop, and eventually settled on a purple frame with gold fork, with contrasting stars clustered around the front end.
I have two forks to go with it: one rigid ( a Specialized A1) and a suspension (Rockshox Judy XC).
Here are these parts stripped and primed.
