CScriba Posted October 25, 2019 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted October 25, 2019 Share All I can ask for is that you use tan walled tyres on that build with a matching leather saddle and bar tape Mongoose! and DJR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CScriba Posted October 25, 2019 Share 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 Daniel Loubser and Hairy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted October 25, 2019 Share 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) Edited October 25, 2019 by Hairy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CScriba Posted October 25, 2019 Share 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.

CScriba Posted October 25, 2019 Share 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. 428 others, Dan Dob, DIPSLICK and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CScriba Posted October 25, 2019 Share 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.

Christie Posted October 26, 2019 Share Great project ???? (Caad9 is way too modern for tan sidewalls and a brown leather saddle. Leave that for a 1960s steel Bianchi or something) CScriba 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
