Rusevelt Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Different. Inspired water transfer graphics would finish that of pretty nicely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewEH1 Posted June 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2014 I've had this bike for almost two years now. Time for a rebuild and a little touch of silver. Just picked up my freshly re-built wheels after snapping some spokes on the rear wheel, picked up a brand new rim for the rear for £40 too! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexClare94 Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 I was thinking when you said you was gettin it polished that it'll look very nice as it is... I was happy to see you stuck with the shiney silver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewEH1 Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 I've been re-polishing the whole frame, can't find the new Inspired Skye stickers I had made since I've moved house so no pictures until I find them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippY Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 how do polished frames handle in real life, so like in rain, dirt and so on? Do they need any extra care? your bike is sooo wonderful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewEH1 Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 how do polished frames handle in real life, so like in rain, dirt and so on? Do they need any extra care? your bike is sooo wonderful Cheers, as this frame doesn't have a lacquer over the polished aluminium it has gotten a little dull in the past year (I've never washed the bike at all in that time!) but I've got some aluminium polish and it cleans and buffs it up nicely!

James281098 Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 So when will we see the bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filo Posted July 7, 2014 Report Share Posted July 7, 2014 What polish are you using? For best results use California customs purple polish. Polish using normal rags and then go over with a micro fibre cloth. It will make it really pop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Influx Posted July 24, 2014 Report Share Posted July 24, 2014 What a beautiful bike. I really like the gold. Who makes the gold parts? Is that brand-x? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Influx Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 As I loved Andy's Skye so much I decided to have a crack at this with my fourplay. I've just finished polishing and clear coating the frame. Forks need doing and then it's time to reassemble and decide on decals. I'll post some pictures if anyone's interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Influx Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) I'll pop some up this week. Hopefully finished Wednesday... but it's gonna look pretty similar to the Skye, so full credit to Andy and his awesome colour choices Edited August 3, 2014 by Influx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we getting these pics of the skye? Not soon enough, sorry! I'm not too busy this weekend so will try and finish polishing the frame. Need to try and find the stickers I got made, lost in a box somewhere after moving house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewEH1 Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) So, after eight months I've finally managed to put the Skye back together after a busy past four months! Saint brakes are silly easy to bleed after threading the front hose through the steerer, the Inspired kit is pretty neat too. The typical Scottish weather is terrible so the photos are equally bad, I'll need to get out in the sun soon! Still needs a little bit of a polish before I put the Inspired Skye stickers on that have been sat unused for well over a year! Rear brake hose is a little long too, but that's for another day...

Ali C Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 need sunglasses to look at that, that's one shiny frame! It's crying out for some polished/chrome rims now. I think the seat needs one click back so it's not pointing down at the toptube though 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
