Had a lovely time riding in Leeds today with Wilf and Ashley and Mat and Liam, now kicking back with a 7.3% ale cos i'm not afraid.

Was a great ride, Just a little windy! Have to do it again soon!

Going to repaint my bike. I'ts been unchanged for 3 years. We all know how changing just the rim colour can improve your riding, let alone the colour of the frame.

Now:

Planned colour composition:

Need to get some white paint for the rims. Should I use acrylic or 2-pack? I'll be doing the frame with 2-pack because that's what I've got for the car.

Presumably I should keep the fork black?

Shit is so good at the moment.

Suns out, it's my birthday next week, not smoked for two weeks, losing a shit ton of weight, because the sun is out the girlfriend is walking around naked pretty much everywhere, work is a bit slow so I can take half days to enjoy it.

Boooom.

Dont paint any of it. It looks fine as it is.

Putting old tyres on a newly painted frame will look shit too.

It was good looking I guess, just got bored with it. I've changed nothing in that bike for 3 years now. But I do remember that back in the days when my riding was adequate, changing something small that you can see while riding is enough to improve your skills. Observed it twice with rims. Amazing how the mind works.

Lol at Dan's comment but I know what you mean and yes, a fresh bike with old tyres looks gash. Then again I need new tyres anyway.

Frame is done, got some nice new Echo stickers which will go on after the clear hardens. Hopefully should be able to get the bike running again for the weekend.

Will get some acrylic paint for the rims tomorrow, couldn't be arsed with 2pack again.
