Peachy Pace RC529…FINISHED Pg22

Very nice, what are your 'personalisation' plans? Maybe a Johnny Morris badge as I presume this is a keeper?

Oh it’s a keeper already… but maybe better described as an “inheritance bike” as @Our Jimmy is already eyeing it up! Apparently in a year or two he recons he’ll fit it and by then I’ll need an e-Pace to keep up!
joking aside, he may well fit it by the time the bloody forks arrive 🤦‍♂️
As for personalisation… for now that’s between me and Gil, you lot will have to wait😉
 
Because someone has to ask dumb questions...

Nikel plated. Is that going to be like the old orange bikes or is this more like a thick paint?

It’s the base layer that would normally be put on before a chrome layer.
Why not go full chrome? Well that would have meant first polishing the base steel to a high finish, then applying the nickel, then polishing again before applying the chrome. This would cost at least four times as much…
Besides, I wanted a satin but clean steel look, but corrosion resistant, ergo nickel plate finish.
