the ugly stick got a visit from some millwall fans

[gibbleking]

stage 2 of the return of bike gibble...i took this while visiting mm today...it was blue on the tin and was supposed to be a summer sky bue with a hint of black.this is what we got instead...its not even close to the colour i wanted but i have to say i really like it.mm has filled in the dentsmade by orange71 and done a goodjob of painting and stuff with the transfersa nd the new bushes...more pics to follow after some sanding and laqqie work.

I love that green paint on them walls..........

that is rainbow blue tony.....says so on the tin

 

[Sithlord]

Looks a nice tidy job scott,,, and I like the coilour , suits it really well...

Looking forward to the array of colours inbound...

 

[marin man]

nope .....bit of red and bit of gold.......that is it....he shall go to he ball

 

[gibbleking]

the wheels are a bit of a contention at the mo...just not sure the red spoked alloys are going to blend in well enough or i may have to polish the spokes so they are shiney instead...

Is blending in ever the idea?

Are the risers and bar ends going back on?

Looks like MM has done a good job refinishing that frame.

 

[marin man]

The red does look ok gibble.....but polished will look good also....alot of work to polish them but if you have a look through the botm competitions there is a gt sts with those wheels polished.......looks great too

You wont be able to leave this anywhere you know

I will steal it

 

[kaiser]

Needs (much)bigger red forks.

 

[marin man]

forks will be manitou x vert triples but I am making the bumper up that bolts to the frame underneath........those manitou were all I had in stock when propping the frame up

 

[gibbleking]

i have a dremel that could polish those spokes quite well....the old risers are history...got some nice flats going with the hope stem that was on there before...there will be no bar ends....(was just kidding about them)...a new seatpost is going on too...and perhaps some kinwalls instead of the all blacks i have at the mo
