My FUNK rebuild

[andy.l]

Hi,this will be my first attempt at a retro restore,im probably not going to get every single part that goes on the bike within the correct year(thats for the RC100) but it wont be miles out hopefully.

Not a lot going on atm as the frame only arrived today from Jez,cheers fella,have sourced a few nice bits and pieces to fit onto it so watch this space and be gentle,lol.

So,as most of you will know ive bought Jez's Funk,think its a 90/91 as it has riveted on cable stops rather than the welded on type like on DrS's 92,anyway the frame came with the old FAGG bottom bracket still in it as Jez had a good time trying to remove it,lol

I took a pair of pliers and a blow torch and got medieval on its ass...

AS it stands now,ready to go into work with me in the morning and see if i can shift the powdercoating for the next stage..

see that BB just needed some brute force and manley know how eh

Whats happening with the cable stops then :?: are they getting painted too or masked off :?:

Top job on the BB chap

It's getting quite Funk-ey on here lately......"Funk Lovers of the world unite"

Cable stops have bee removed as they be off to anodisers soon.

So.......................................colour :?: frame that is.

 

[andy.l]

Well thats dependant on what happens with the powdercoating,if i can remove it then it will be high polished,if not im open to colour choices(waits for the shout of Pink )

Hahaha Ode to Pulp Fiction, love it..

Anyone got that test in MBUK when Steve Worland took a Funk to the Pyrenees? Might provide you with some inspiration

when that frame was mine i was going to have it dipped to remove the paint its cheap and it removes 100% of the paint.
