CScriba Posted October 25, 2019 Author Posted October 25, 2019 I would have walked away and come back 6 months later after I had calmed down!I was close...but i was too determined to get this frame out on the road.
Hairy Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 All I can ask for is that you use tan walled tyres on that build with a matching leather saddle and bar tape
CScriba Posted October 25, 2019 Author Posted October 25, 2019 All I can ask for is that you use tan walled tyres on that build with a matching leather saddle and bar tape Haha, Tan Sidewall might be on the cards in a while...some Panaracers will do nicely.But the saddle and bar tape i'm not so sure about
Hairy Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 Haha, Tan Sidewall might be on the cards in a while...some Panaracers will do nicely.But the saddle and bar tape i'm not so sure about if you can make it work on your frame, Rook are doing some tan walled panaracers for R350/tyre (32c)
CScriba Posted October 25, 2019 Author Posted October 25, 2019 if you can make it work on your frame, Rook are doing some tan walled panaracers for R350/tyre (32c)25c is the max fit as far as i can tell. Charlie at East City Cycles will be able to help
CScriba Posted October 25, 2019 Author Posted October 25, 2019 To top off the dashing paint, i Decided to venture into the absurd, and try to do a Gloss clear coat for myself...properly this time. 2 cans of 2k automotive paint in a spray can from Economic Motor spares in Obs...1 hour lunch break on a perfect windstill afternoon...and we have a beautiful clear coat.  The Clear really brings out the richness in the paint.   Â
CScriba Posted October 25, 2019 Author Posted October 25, 2019 And Finally, whats left to do, is a very light wet sanding with 2000grit paper. The orange peel was very minimal, and after making sure there is ample paint thinkness, this went very smoothly. Polish and wax remain, but that post will have to wait till next week. Â

Coolspin Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 Great thread,Bike looks like it will be amazing. Well done.
'Dale Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 Thanx for sharing the creative process Looks cool ????????
Christie Posted October 26, 2019 Posted October 26, 2019 Great project ???? (Caad9 is way too modern for tan sidewalls and a brown leather saddle. Leave that for a 1960s steel Bianchi or something)
