TALUS Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Earlier this year BogusOne kindly donated a frame respray as part of a charity fundraiser. I was lucky enough to win the bid. Although my Tallboy was still going well (considering the crappy pilot) I thought it was time to give it a new lease of life. I really did not know what I wanted and gave BogusOne nearly nothing to work with. Eventually I worked out that I liked a "bowling ball" pattern in black and red. BogusOne said he understood my request (although I wasn't even sure what it meant). When I received my bike back I decided to give it a complete rebuild. Shocks serviced, BB replaced, new pivot and headset bearings,new cassette etc. I also removed the Avid brakes and replaced with Formula's. New rims and spokes and my first bite at the rebranded new tyres from Vittoria (I was a Geax junkie). Now I don't know whether I should ever try to ride this bike "in anger" given my complete lack of skills.
Guest notmyname Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 No fcuking around here. Sweet work bogus!

Butterbean Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 This guy is amazing man. Seriously love my frame, and that is a stunning paint job man!! Well done!
V12man Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Live it up. Contrasting colour? We can't have boob jobs and wear short skirts but we can paint our bikes...its a sort of candy violet purple already. .. really pops in the sun... cant figure out how to post a picture from my phone....
TYGA Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 The dude is an artist of note! It's just a matter of time before one (or all) of my bikes make a turn in his studio.
TALUS Posted November 23, 2014 Author Posted November 23, 2014 Those vittoria actually look very niceI will take them out to today. Lots of mud around. Wonder if the bike will ever be this clean again.
