Re: Re:

That looks wicked, are you going with any decals?

I couldn't Not put the Championship Headbadge back on, for me it would be like committing a sin. It was Born with it, it will Die with it..

Re: Two heads are Better than One.......

I really like the paint scheme, but I would have reversed the coulours.
Now it is more black than white, but that is a matter of taste.
Pink decals would like the Etto would look great.
You started your story with wich paint job would show the brazing best, but with this scheme it is not very visable, is it?

The pics of the frame so far, are off the first stage of paint.

Because the bikes predominant colour is white, I needed to paint first in black. all you are seeing in the pics so far, are the decal stencils placed/stuck on to the frame to see if decal placement was right prior to the next stage of paint, this being the white.

Believe me, it wasn't easy trying to think it through in reverse.

(if you look close you can see some of the air bubbles I have to contend with before painting, isn't a massive worry as these decals will need to be removed after all the white coat has been applied)

Looking good! Your paint work is always first class and even with the extreme amount of work, effort and detail involved in this one I know you're going to kill it!

There's no point giving you an easy challenge now is there!

And as for shirts, I will happily admit my guilt there....

Cheers Pete, but I think thats a little blind faith right there.

You do love to throw a curve ball though I give you that.

Just think "Welterweight"........(and keep you fingers crossed for me that this all works out).

on a serious note, the frame was built around a suspension fork.
