CScriba Posted August 26, 2019 Share I don't see it.It doesn't do it 4 Me.I accept its not for everyone.To each their own and all.It was a fun process, and im glad i could play around and learn a bit. would recommend everyone try something of the like at some stage in their lives at-least. I'm pretty proud of the quality of the outcome, which is something i was very scared not to be able to reach.

CScriba Posted August 26, 2019 Share Ill hopefully get to do some nice photos of the full build soon! Nothing fancy component wise, but its turned out pretty damn neat...in my opinion - any bike that gets you riding is a good bike!

(by someone who doesn't do it for a living and who had the "goons" to actually attempt a custom job that the rest are to scared to even attempt) Pure Savage, eddy, ABrooks and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJR Posted August 26, 2019 Share I can tell you, I have done a couple of bikes, and I am too chickenshit to try a sprayjob myself. I have always farmed it out to professionals like Jared at BMC or Anton (Bogus Designs). This thread made me think that I should give it a try myself! No other build thread managed that! Great stuff!

RLucas Posted August 27, 2019 Share The downtube logo looks sick!! Thanks for sharing bro! I'm sure many of us have been inspired by your work The finished frame. Busy building up the final bike this weekend. Super chuffed!LRM_EXPORT_43494438738264_20190825_082735766.jpeg Eddy Gordo and CScriba 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddy Gordo Posted August 27, 2019 Share I don't see it.It doesn't do it 4 Me.I reckon the mad skills is the hydro dipping and prepwork done. Especially the way the logos were done. I did a frame a few years ago, i used paint stripper to remove the paint, washed it off and sprayed it. Then stuck some decals on it.Sounds pretty simple, but took me 2 weeks to complete.
