This is excellent binners. 🙂

After a long-ish debate, my new frame is RAL 8007 - Fawn brown.

Well I built it up over the weekend. And it doesn't look half bad in its pasty-based awesomeness 😀

Finished!!!! Well… the dropper cable routing needs sorting, but I couldn't be arsed, cos I just wanted to get out on it!

So thanks to Flashy for the colour scheme suggestion. Truly inspired! 😀

That looks really nice that does. Thought you may have gone orange for the P7 logo to expand on the blue orange white theme and I can't say I think much of the red chain stay protector.

However on a more serious note what is going on with the mould on the wall.

Its the neighbours wall, not mine. I'm thinking of going around and having a word though

The red chain stay protector is actually bright orange, it just looks red in the pictures for some reason

That's a "cracking" colour scheme. Shame it's an Orange. 😉

Just thought I'd post on this thread again for two reasons.

A) To put the Greggs paint job at the top of the forum because it is absolutely lovely. Irrespective of the amusement value of the decals, the colour and frame are great to look at.

B) To ask binners whether he is certifiable using a ziptie on his spanking new paint job to secure the dropper cable. To quote Gary from Men Behaving Badly, "are you mad? are you madder than Brian Mad of Madcastle? Are you". There is no way I'd let a ziptie anywhere near that paint. All you needed to do was put a thin strip of electrical tape on first, then ziptie and ride, then sort it properly.

After all you put us through choosing that paint job, the least you owe us is to look after it!

Obviously using the bb and down tube to play rock hockey is fine, though.

Loving the colour scheme and decals. Can you get a sponsorship binners? It may improve their image...unless you're a fat bloater on a bike? 😉

They're right next to work. If you drop it in with me, I'll pop it in for you. fifty sheets for an acid dip and powder coat. They really did do a superb job of it. As you can see from the piccies

I like a brown soul, or an orange soul, or a custard soul, or even a builder's tea soul but there's no getting away from it, black and white is the correct colour.

Could be time for another colour change.

No one wants to be a muppet by association...
