EigerSA Posted December 17, 2010 Share Here's the bike after the new paintjob That looks really nice! I'm guessing the frame was powdercoated? How about some decals? Edited December 17, 2010 by EigerSA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divernick Posted December 17, 2010 Share That looks really nice! I'm guessing the frame was powdercoated? How about some decals? Yup, still deciding what kind of decals to fit.... No, I rattlecan sprayed and clearcoated the frame. Trust me, you have to be so patient and careful doing that - certainly learned a lot doing it myself.The last paint went on 5 days ago and the finish is still soft enough to dent with a fingernail. Needless to say I haven't ridden her yet. MTBc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EigerSA Posted December 18, 2010 Share I've had loads of experience spray-painting as well as with rattlecans and that finish looks excellent. Yup, rattle cans can take ages to dry out properly, more so if the humidity is really high or temperature's really cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Louis Gosset Jr keeps reminding us..........................keep it real ! It is a 26" Peace. I bought it 2nd hand on Saturday. I was in my LBS looking at a new Peace when Tony mentioned that a customer wanted to sell this one for a little more than a stock standard new one. My credit card was out faster than Dangle does laps at a 24 hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretched@Birth Posted December 22, 2010 Share You and the Boss need to get them bikes in to my valley and we can all go singlespeeding I think a little single speed get together early in the new year would be great...

Can't say I've come across anything? It would have to be sanctioned by cycling sa or something wouldn't it? Of course we could always hold unofficial champs races?

I FLY Posted December 23, 2010 Share I am not sure that I have weird enough clothes to participate in a SS championship. The race gear at the World SS champs in NZ set very high standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
