Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted October 9, 2015 Share Joh, people can change their opinion about things so much...so maybe I can too.. Patch, I might not like you anymore, but I still like the colours of your Sukuma You have a eye for these things for sure...just not 100% sure I like the fact that you are thinking about putting white decals on the sexually frustrated frame - white is boring and 'cheap'...That's the thing with subjective stuff like colour combinations... No fact to base it on, just what you think looks good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted October 9, 2015 Share You strip the frame yourself?Considering this for my EMD Niner - she needs some TLC Nope. The frame as pictured in the complete bike isn't the same frame as the one I anodised. I managed to get a blank one from Morewood that had no paint on it.But it still required a chemical prep of sorts. And I know Astro can chemically strip your current paint off too. I asked them for a worst case for the whole job and they quoted about R515. Because I didn't go for a polished finished, the final price was R349 Andrew Steer, Eddy Gordo, Chro Mo and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddy Gordo Posted October 9, 2015 Share how much was shipping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted October 9, 2015 Share how much was shipping? I'm not sure what their shipping rates are. Their factory is about 25min from my office, so I just drove through. But I'm pretty sure they can ship it back to the cape. Eddy Gordo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V12man Posted October 9, 2015 Share Black fork yes... (but have you seen the price of a Pike ) I can change it to black for you if you like.... next weekend.... I am spraying matt black on some plastic bike parts anyway, so its not a lot of extra work (seeing as you will be cleaning it etc... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket-Boy Posted October 9, 2015 Share Yeah. Okay. the frame looks gorgeous by itself, but I think it's the mismatched nature of the parts that's doing it a dis-service. Reckon it'd look farr better with a black fork, black grips and bash and so on... I recon it would looks all kinds of crazy hot with a black fork.

Eddy Gordo Posted October 9, 2015 Share The white fork is nice, but I can see where you guys coming from with the black. Especially seeing as part of the rear triangle is black. Maybe get some wrap and see how it looks. Of course this is entirely up to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted October 9, 2015 Share Forget about my white fork guys! that bike had it's make-over months ago! The purple peril is the bike currently on the operating table!

patches Posted October 12, 2015 Share So after hayleyearth was adamant that I do not use white vinyl for the decals (and even after I had white vinyl already cut and waiting to go on), I decided to cut some lime green ones. Glad I listened cos it turned out rather well... (at least I think so ) (Deon), Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, Super_mil and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
