Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted December 6, 2012 Share YAY! So I finally sold my DH bike (sniff) and bought the latest addition to the stable. Picked it up from Action earlier this week, and started building it up immediately. It's a 2010 Reign X (large) and this will be a quick tour of my new sled. Here she is as a naked frame...

That will take time though! And don't worry, wrapping will happen. I'll also be getting some clear vinyl (or plastidip, as you rightly say) to coat the down tube. Can't wait to ride this mutha.

Can't wait to ride this mutha.2 layers of plastidip is the way forward if you overspray you can just peel off the overspray, dont need to line up exact like clear vinyl.When its kuk in 2 months just peel off and respray,being the downtube is flat on under side,just hold cardboard 90'degrees to the tube and spray excess will hit cardboard 5 min job and wont become brittle and yellow,super stuck to frame, like some vinyl after its been on the frame for a while.
