Luke Rainbird Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) Hey guys,Just had my frame helicoiled to fix some nasty threadage, so figured I'd give it a cleaner, nicer look whilst it was in bits.I originally wanted to take it to the same orange as my Control, but due to lack of decent paint places around, that'll have to wait (I may get it powder coated in the summer, we'll see)Anyway, here it is;Please excuse the gash images - 2MP camera on phone was all I had. I'll grab some better ones when I find someone with a posh camera!Comments/Crits welcome Edited February 12, 2008 by Monkey Boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Thats f**king awesome Luke. I thought it was going to be another gash attempt to try and copy my orange. Looks good though mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted February 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Joe - who copied who?! Mine was respectable orange anyway...Rohan - blagger?! £3 paint jobs are where it's at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Not really likeing that yellow but hopefully it'll look better in person. The general bike looks great though, don't think you've changed anything have you? I would change the bash or have it machined a little, other than that, good job.

Headset, grips, Tyres have changed tooedit; bash is lovely, totally perfect for the 20t setup I runSlightly tempted to go 18t, but will wait until I have the stem and some money to decide!

yoyoyo Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Looks miles better than it used to!!Don't make it orange, leave it like it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted February 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Definitely needs finishing properly, this paint job is appalling, but a powder coat for summer maybe and away we go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balman Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Looks mint as Luke only thing i don't like is the bash just looks a little out of place maybe because im used to seeing the tiny 16tooth middle burns on it from when Joe had it but looks lovely good to see it going to good use instead of collecting dust im my garage.

Luke Rainbird Posted February 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Hmm, seems that a few people are noticing the bash, which is odd, I've never thought about it!See if I can swing a play on the lathe at Uni one day maybe...Thanks for all your comments guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
