LEON Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Built this the other day, turned out alright! Frame is freshly shot blasted and powder coated, but Ashton stickers are made of unobtanium. Edited March 31, 2015 by LEON 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 That is lovely! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikee Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Love it. Edit: Is that the magura cnc booster? I have been struggling to find a booster that will fit on mine apart from the standard steel magura one.

LEON Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) Cheers! Yeah it's the rare Herzblut limited edition, spacing is absolutely on the limit for this frame, just fits with no fiddling, it's probably the same spacing as a Magura steel one. I don't think many modern boosters fit spacing this small, think it's only 83 or 84mm. Edited March 31, 2015 by LEON Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Looks smart dude If you're trying to get some stickers sorted, have a chat with Jonny Jones (UberSticky) or Lucy Higgins (Indiprint), either of them should be able to hook you up I'd have thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEON Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Cheers people! Luke I did ask jonny but he said it's pretty much a no go as there's no artwork available. I don't know Lucy but if you reckon she can make some that'd finish off the frame nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete.M Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 I asked Lucy when I was thinking about restoring the Ashton ET, I'm pretty certain she said she could draw up the art no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted March 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Ok cool, I'll ask, don't suppose anyone with an Ashton could measure the stickers? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikee Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 don't suppose anyone with an Ashton could measure the stickers? I will get some rough measurements off mine. It won't be easy as they wrap around the tubes but it will give you an idea. PM me your email address and I will send some close up pictures of all the graphics if you want. it's the rare Herzblut limited edition Just went on ebay and there was a brand new one on there. Result! Just bought it, mine needs stiffening up a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Good job man. Loving that. Maybe a black magura body though? Ill let you away with having a gold chain ring since the bore cap is gold on the Hope. I'd change both to black if it were me though.

lifes-a-trial Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Retro stealth.looks sweet.Don't mean to sound ignorant but what is the all of a sudden interest with ashtons lately? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saltine Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Fantastic build. Have always wanted one, all it needs is a playing card in the spokes with that moto seat... Wouldn't have any trouble drawing up the graphics if you need them. Can't do much about printing but that's only half the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
