Eddy Gordo Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 There is a guy in Cape Town that apparently does a good job. I'll see if I can remember his name
Eddy Gordo Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 And thats my beast right there.Awesome, I have a similar scheme in mind
IH8MUD Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 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.

eddy Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Like that . . . Somehow I don't think that we will be drooling over the artistry of the 2017 S-works Venge in 2040.......

Uni Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Nice, just give it a clear coat !! Can steel be finished with just a clear coat? . Snap! That raw look is just .... :My OH also said if it was his he'd go clear coat , but and I hope it's not an offence to David's craftsmanship, I've decided on a tinted coat. It's going to be a surprise to me too as to how it turns out.

It's going to be a surprise to me too as to how it turns out. That would be my next choice before paint. What colour tint?
Monark Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 A tint that highlights the fillets and craftsmanship.... surely....
Uni Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 That would be my next choice before paint. What colour tint?Wait eddy hahaa I promise I'll post a pic when I get the frame, and again once she's all built up and ready to go
gummibear Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 Steel is dead.Why would anyone want a bike made of a material that can be hammered and bent?
