Luke Rainbird Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Looks incredible, great job! Nice bit of colour can make a huge difference Quick question - how do you route your brake lines? Remove the main hose and bleed after reconnecting? Small hole to small hole can't be easy so I'm assuming you've done something sensible!

Mowgli Posted May 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Quick question - how do you route your brake lines? Remove the main hose and bleed after reconnecting? Small hole to small hole can't be easy so I'm assuming you've done something sensible! i dissconnected the cable from the lever and cut off the olive too. poked that in the bottom end of the frame, when you can see the hose by the top hole i used something pointy (a sharp pencil etc) to stick in the end of the hose to guid it out the frame which pushing the cable through at the bottom end. Its suprisingly easy. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowgli Posted May 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 it rode lovely, then my hub started skipping and is now packed up and getting sent to Hope. So another week without riding me thinks. Aren't bikes fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 I reckon some black stickers would finish that off nicely . Brave colour choice but I reckon it looks good, although I bet it looks different in the flesh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Quigley Posted May 24, 2008 Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 Looks good (Reminiscent of a Joe Maher bicycle if I'm not mistaken) Where did you get it done mate? and at what cost, might get the Limey done when I get me new frame.

Mowgli Posted May 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2008 I bet it looks different in the flesh! it does, a bit brighter, the pictures have dulled it down a bit. you may see it at the comp if my hub returns in time. I got it done at a company in Gosport called plasticoat. It cost £30 for frame and forks (would have been less if the forks were the same colour). To do it you just turn up and walk in, it will cost a fortune if you ring them and ask about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
