Project 12 Vertigo custom steel

[Jamis Diablo]

Hi guys, havent been here for a long time till I got a PM today I had to answer.
Great to see its still pretty busy here!
I havent bought a retrobike since my clunker build, sold all of my retro stuff except for the clunker, Muddy '84 and Jamis Diablo '98 (and a AlMega frame).
But I did a modern build, my dreambuild; a custom steel fully.
And as you never loose that retro vibe, I choose the technique and colours from the old days.

Frame is build by a friend of mine: https://projectxii.nl/en/
Self tought fillet brazer who makes some amazing things.

That’s fab, the frame details and workmanship are superb!

Think it would look miles better on tan walls though…

That's one of the coolest things I've seen in ages.

Wowzer. That's gorgeous in those colours. You have a talented friend

 

[Jamis Diablo]

Thanks guys. Besides the looks it rides pretty well too.
I've been thinking about skinwalls and think they would look good.
But the compound isn't what I want for a bikepark bike.
These Wolfpack have lots more grip then for example a skinwal DHR.

Man alive that looks epic.

Where did you get it sprayed if you don’t mind me asking? Looks a very tidy paint job.

Great build, hope you have lots of fun on it

Egads, man! That is beautiful. Is there a write up anywhere? I’m interested in geometry, wheel size, tubing, sus travel, all of it. I don’t have instagram so I can’t check if it’s there. Anyways, it’s so sweet!

Thanks. Painting was done by a local (Dutch) shop; Cycle Paint.
