Fat Boab Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Nice, just give it a clear coat Snap! DIPSLICK 1
Hairy Posted February 17, 2017 Author Posted February 17, 2017 Even for a confirmed roadie, that has created a Friday morning.....stirring! A thing of beauty!! Can steel be finished with just a clear coat? Maybe not enough corrosion resistance perhaps, but would be nice IMO, to just stare at that, particularly the brazing.....Can be done ... this old frame of mine was a good few years old when the pics were taken IH8MUD, T-Bob, gummibear and 2 others 5
T-Bob Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 some of you on Twitter / instagram have seen this already - but my baby is on the way for some makeup this is getting real! https://www.instagram.com/p/BQkCXyjlM26/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BQkDDxqlpxq/ How can I like this more than once... that deserves at least a more than just a thumbs up! gummibear, Paul Ruinaard, DIPSLICK and 2 others 5
BaGearA Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 That raw look is just ....I can't even describe it henningvr and Hairy 2
Monark Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 What about road bikes? A quick snap of my Soma Smoothie... again, pictures do not do it justice. The paint is actually a pearl metallic. Love it. hboli4, shaper, IH8MUD and 3 others 6

eddy Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Will probably also somewhere along the line look at doing a custom paintjob on it tooThere is a guy in Cape Town that apparently does a good job. I'll see if I can remember his name TAAHIRWP and BogusOne 2

IH8MUD Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) Aside from the look and perceived ride of steel. What I like also about steel is sometimes the small details. The name or logo on the top of seatstays, the metal cable routing at the bottom of the BB. The Colnago clover on the fork or elsewhere on the frame.The Cinelli name or logo on a dropout. Nice lug workSuper sexy welds. I mean, look at the brazing on a (Helloclour's) David Mercer frame!! It shows attention to small things, extra effort (sometime only for aesthetic value).Pride. Look at the outside and inside of the dropouts of my steel Firestarter fork.These will be covered and possibly mashed up by the schewers. But the effort was made to put them there.
