Fabian46 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 LOL. Bike is already painted, dude. No need to hassle. It's just as we said - an almost black chrome look, like Intense do. But instead of brushed alu underneath, it's brazed steel. Which is much more awesomer. It's effectively a black-tinted clearcoat. Yeah I know...just ragging a bit. It is really the most awesome thing I've seen!!! I like the accents and waves under the clear coat!! But I cant drool over an unassembled bike...its unethical man! Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1
Iwan Kemp Posted March 9, 2015 Author Posted March 9, 2015 Sheesh, I leave you guys for 2 hours to pop out to my LBS (for matters of purple bling) and I come back to this! FAAARK!!! This is nice!! AWESOME!! Artwork! Thanks! Iwan, awesome thread and awesome build. Thanks for sharing. I love the small details that the bike what it is...it's all in the details. Enjoy the ride.... my next custom bike (once my wife is slightly less apoplectic after Shorn the Sheep) is a Mecer for sure. You won't regret a Mercer. * Iwan's bike looks great, hope you are reading this drummer boy I also like the fact that he supports his LBS and spray-painter on a regular basis .It pays off, one can see that . They've asked me to spend less time there... Enough chit chat ... where is part 4 already .... you getting worse than that River Rat paddling down a stream in a bath tub thread already! You sure you're on the right website? Verskoon die afrikaans.Die vier beste kleure vir n fiets is:wit, rooi en swart.Wit - is vinnigRooi - is vinnigerSwart - is die vinnigsteWit, rooi, swart - f..... vinnigOeps, ek ry n Vipa en droom van n custom Vipa deur Bogus, jip wit, rooi en swart.Iwan jou bike like awesome! Enjoy!Shot! Ek en Bogus het al gedroom oor my nou ex VIPA so ek is seker hy't paar killer idees This is one of the nicest bikes I have ever seen. In addition to its good looks, it is an extremely versatile build as well. with this bike you will be able to ride everything from XC to agressive trail with relative ease. Perfect for SA enduros as well. Well done.Thanks. Was out this weekend trying to do the paint job justice with pics, but it really is difficult (for me) to capture close to all of it in a pic. I'll say it again, you know you're doing something right when renowned custom sprayers ask you how you're doing it.* Just confirmed that this is indeed the case. Apparently it looks "Irn Bru-ish" in the sun, what with the brazing, clean metal and work-marks on the frame I REALLY want to see thisYeah, but you have to see it. Otherworldly with a dash of understated and two scoops over the top thanks to the wheels. Hairy and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2
Iwan Kemp Posted March 9, 2015 Author Posted March 9, 2015 What a beauty... Lotus colours...Not Loftus colours man...Loftus colors? I'm sure Bogus can do a throw up look a like. Will have to check. Not deaf ... I recon he just gets a little "creative" when the spraying fumes hit him. PITCHAS IWAN!You got your early debut last week. You'll have to wait like the rest of us plebs. Iwan...more bad ideas are going to surface the longer you take...PLEEEAAAAAAASSSSEEEE....save us from a potential loftus\blue bulls themed bike that Ben Gray Hum might approve of!!http://www.quickmeme.com/img/1c/1c71adbb57666dcdd74506bee55e05fe741fadd3341c7acdff8fd032ed6d48e9.jpg *flattering statements paid for by me, but only cause it's deserved.

Wyatt Earp Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Well that's a much more helpful image. Always liked the colour of steel. I approve. Not that anyone cares.We don't really, we see red and it's the end .

Iwan Kemp Posted March 9, 2015 Author Posted March 9, 2015 We don't really, we see red and it's the end . And let me just say, that bike of yours looks KILLER! Have been wanting to do a Lotus bike for a while, but I can't imagine anything topping that beaut. Wyatt Earp 1
deanbean Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Damn, thats purty, Iwan and Bogus. I like the way you can see the braize through the clearcoat.

Hairy Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Just a teaser.... And yes i did it and it aint solid black 20150225_123047.jpgAWESOME!
Iwan Kemp Posted March 9, 2015 Author Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) Very G Bike. Saw it on Friday first hand looked awesome! Welcome to The Hub. Yeah, my LBS was kind enough to drive through to the Expo to hand deliver the bike. A bit of an issue with a part supplied by me caused a delay, but they were keen enough to get it done and to me in time for a night ride Fri evening. I took lots of pics especially for Hairy. Here's me doing that section there by the treehttp://i.ytimg.com/vi/1VRyAYh1dtQ/hqdefault.jpg Here's one of a girl I bumped in tohttp://imageserver.moviepilot.com/the-blair-witch-project-the-blair-witch-project-cast-who-seemed-to-vanish-overnight-where-are-they-now.jpeg?width=1280&height=720 In this one you can clearly make out a bikehttp://images.singletracks.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/night-riding-mtb.jpg Edited March 9, 2015 by Iwan Kemp Hairy, Captain Fastbastard Mayhem, popcorn_skollie and 2 others 5
johanpre44 Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 I should not be looking at this thread... Makes me want to cry of all the money I need to spend on home improvements (and not bike parts)...
Ryanpmb Posted March 9, 2015 Posted March 9, 2015 Don't worry I'm done discussing this. Nothing more to see her. Preempting the carpet comment or just a typo...? Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1
