Fixie Project

Ya I'm definitely one for the less is more approach.

Collecting the frame from anodizing tomorrow.

Went with a 'satin' gunmetal to match the hoops.

Just have to sell a kidney to pay for the BB, and then just need a saddle and appropriate pedals.

Show us the frame!

 

I wish I could. Thursday night build plans stopped dead in their tracks. Got to the anodizers and they bring out a nice black frame. He opened the plastic and said "we went a nice dark gunmetal on it". I held his black sample against it and said "nope, this is black, not what I asked for". They're re-doing it, have to go back on monday.

Ah that sucks. I hate it when stuff like that happens.

Good on you for making them redo it.
