Yes I know what you mean, I did mean to do a build thread on this one but with the shorter days and short opportunities to get the work done something had to give as I wanted to get it finished.PeachyPM":3m35b4mg said:legrandefromage":3m35b4mg said:This was outrageously French - its mechs are now yours and it has been de-Frenched a bit since this picture was taken
Ah ha! Inspiration full circle.... the very bike that made me want to ‘French’ my Claud!![]()
As for this build Allen.... very nice, love the paint job, but you seem to be taking more of a LGF slam bam approach to a build thread..no sooner started then finished! :roll:
Ps. In your rush, you missed a couple of colouring in opportunities, namely the brakes callipers and the gear levers.... oh and I see what you were trying to achieve with the crank ring nuts... just not sure it doesn’t look like you’ve just missed one!![]()
I did think about text colouring in and couldn't make up my mind on it but I may do it in the future. And yes 5 is a pain in the backside number, couldn't alternate red/blue so opted to make the arm the sixth and 2nd sliver parts. I even bought some white chainring bolts for it but one looked even worse than one silver one.
