Paint is called 'rattle can Flouro yellow' by a company called Halfords

Bit more to it than that though....
Firstly given a coat of acid etching primer, then 2 coats of high build primer, wet flatted with 1200 grade, 2 coats of white 2 pack, then 4 coats of the rattle can flouro, then clear powdercoat for toughness, flatted again with 1500, decals applied then 3 coats of two pack clearcoat to make em shine. 13 coats of paint in total. The pics don't do them justice- they look superb in the flesh.

yeah, I didn't know that. Had a look at that review in the scans section and that bike had Biopace rings on it. I like Biopace II so i'm looking for a mint set now to go on it.

Dr S, that bar isn't quite right for the vintage though is it?

Nope, they are Renthal's as originally fitted.

IIRC I had to wait 2 months for my Renthal bars as they weren't ready with a final version - and this was in 92.
