So, what have people done colour wise? Has anyone gone real crazy and gone for more than 1 colour!?!?

Looking to get mine resprayed possibly – original paint is shite.

British Racing Green. 🙂

were you at the original 24/12, BD? (Is that it?)

No, that’s Beastway, some years ago.

Anyone else?

BigDummy did you forget to get dressed that morning? biking in your bed clothes whatever next!
😀

That’s 3/4-lengths and a shirt, to race in. What do you wear? Wierdo. 😉

Had both of mine resprayed red . . . before red was an option 😕

Is it? Can you still buy kit like that? Me I mainly wear modern looking non bed wear 😉

Thinking of selling my inbred frame but its been chipped a lot by the chain and scratched by cables, mudguards etc.
Worth re-painting before selling?

my 853 ss inbred in LVIS team colours:

dirtbiker – if its a 16″ geared I might well be interested, but I’d want to organise a respray myself as a present for my daughter (her choice of colour). Any more details?

mamadirt – can I ask what you paid for a respray – you obviously thought it was worth it even though the frames are relatively cheap?

How did you sort the decals?

Around £80 for the first one, with postage, and about £130 for the second (including the chrome dropouts) iirc (both done at Bob Jackson Cycles in Leeds). Email gil AT thecycleshed DOT co DOT uk – he did a top job on the decals.

Mr Tricky,
Yeah its a 16″ geared (but its a 456 version). Frame would come with usable but cheap post, clamp and a headset (same design as a FSA The Pig but in erm. pastel pink…)

I’m trying to decide whether to buy a small Giant Trance frame and the price I get for the inbred frame is a deciding factor.

Would you want the frame in the condition its in at the moment and you get it resprayed or you choose the colour and I find somewhere to get it resprayed?
I originally posted in here as I was going to look into a friend getting it done – proper garage/car re-sprayer, possibly in white – which could be advantageous to both of us cost wise – if its wanted in that colour…

click my name for my email (or its in my profile), feel free to ask any other questions if you’re interested at all.

Many many many moons ago, it was this…

But many moons ago , it turned into this..

Mick, please tell em thats photoshopped.

Nope, I seen it in the flesh…..just about anyway, was camouflaged….

They’rrrrrre great!!

Scruff, you jealous?

I don’t know whats more suprising – that someone wants a bike to look like that, or that someone is willing to do the paintwork!!

Each to their own I suppose!!

I had to go out riding with him when it was a zebra 😯

Why follow the ‘herd’ though?

Sorry.

IGMC.

Ive been fortunate/unfortunate enough to have spotted a bike that someone had literally filled a bathtub with bright purple paint, and then repeatedly dipped the bike in until suitable covered.

Then left it to dry, and repeated.

And when I say bike, I mean bike. Not frame. Whole bike. Tyres, chain, and all.

Non-stick pan with extra sparkle…

Saccades – I like that colour a lot – it looks excellent – who did that respray for you ?

daughter’s new bike

build in progress for my dad (first mtb at 70!)

Clink – your dad’s first mtb is lovely.

whats the colour (other than just ‘orange’) and where did you get it sprayed? I might be in the market soon

Tallaght Powder coating in Dublin, 100 yoyo for stripping, prepping, 2 pack and then powder coating. Has 1000’s of colours and is used to blanding as he does a lot of it for motorbikes.

is used to blanding as he does a lot of it for motorbikes.

i’d describe it more as stealth than bland!

No longer in my possession, sadly, but it looked like this:

Behold, the RUSTin’bred…

(DIY job with red oxide primer, lacquered)

Saccades – thanks – I’ll check them out – it looks like an excellent job

Sprayed at place in Nailsea near Bristol – £30 per frame&fork.
If you are interesetd I can e-mail them and find the colour – klet me know (mail in profile)

clink, those two inbreds are very nice – great colours! out of interest, why did your daughter not get discs?

And now for something tasteful…..
😉

Done by Argos in Bristol. Did have some Superlight forks but I couldn’t get the disc’s and mudguards to play nicely together.

no discs had a set of non-disc wheels and trying to keep costs down
frame is original ss version (added dmr chain tug/mech hanger) so v’s only at back; new front disc wheel may well be future upgrade!

They look fantastic Clink.

Ferrari red. Now, that’s not because I necessarily wanted a Ferrari red bike, my mate Chris the sprayer does mainly race cars (Silverstone is just up the road) sounds glam, in reality is just like normal spraying, but with extra stickers which are a PITA…Anyway, I wanted red, he was doing the bumper of a dinged up 328.

Just realised what a dull story that actually is, sorry.

PeterPoddy – can I ask where that was done?

Those decals look the best I’ve seen – where did you get them?
