Haha lol! Ride there! O cap my friend Nick got back from the UK and he kept his bike this was the oak with the cannondale that had the Shredded Dee max wheels that I was talking about ages ago!

Well if I loose the tubes and go for a single compound tyre thats 2kg gone!

Found out why my bike is so heavy tubes weigh 500g each and tyres weigh 1.5kg each so thats 2kg is there such a thing as a good strong light weight DH tyre??

A friend was telling me he got his Cannondale resprayed white and it only cost him R300

Rondebosch

How much will it cost as I got a quote from Token Freak of R1500!

Is there not some place that I can get this frame sprayed at?

So what do you suggest I do heartCoppi? Cause I really don't want a yellow bike!

So I use paint stripper to remove the paint wash down the frame the 600grit water paper the frame. Then prime was thinking of using the plascon 2k primer, the just white spray paint what should I use for a clear coat. The paint remover won't eat away at the metal or welds or anything right?

I'm wanting to respray my DH bike white using rattle cans. What I'm wanting to know is. When removing the paint what sand paper does one use? (wouldn't paint remover be easier?) What must I use for the under coat? What must I use for the clear coat?

Shot for the pics Tavis look awesome

Jup the only one in the country. We were sitting with G-Murray himself as him and my Dad are tight. Ja the Mclaren F1 is my favourite car too sho!
