Re: Re:

Ah amazing, it’s also stamped with an R if that has any significance ?

I’ll bet that means something to them - please post the reply you get back

So after nearly a two year hiatus I finally have the frame back!!!!!

Kevin Winter did an outstanding job of retrofitting the frame to my need, adding a threadless steerer tube so that I could run an ahead stem as well as additional mounts for rear rack, mudguards etc.

The paint job came out better than I was expecting and I opted to have the graphics painted rather than decals for a more modern aesthetic and a hand painted Columbus dove as a nod to the tubing used on the frame.

I have amassed a good stash of parts so hopefully get this frame on the road ready for some summer adventures. I'm currently building up a set of Hope Pro 3 hubs with DT swiss 535 rims and plan on running a 1x11 Sram groupset.

The plan for the bike is a bit of a touring/bike packing rig.

I have attached some picture showing some of the amazing paintwork and details.

Cheers

Looks stunning, love the painted graphics.

Would you mind me asking what the colour is as it is just what I am looking for ?

Cheers, Im super happy with how it turned out.

Sure its RAL 8000 in some light it looks more olive and in other its a sandy colour.
