    lovely colour.

    Would go for some 'straight' legged rigid forks though, maybe a less bulbous tyre, maybe a 2.1 ralph and some shorter crank arm lengths (and some gears),a flite saddle ( and in the last pic your saddle doesn't look in line ) but apart from that looks sweeeeeett as mutha

    that's a lovely shade of smurf you have there. It looks top banana but you know within a couple of weeks of riding on the chase in winter it'll look like this

    Very nice colour, definitely a colour I would go for. As said above where did you get the job done? Is it sprayed enamel or powder? What is the colour, name or ref. number?

    Yup reminds me of Singular colour scheme, I'm not keen on baby blue but that's just personal preference. Looks a good paint job though.

    Looks like [ahem] Peugeot Light Blue to me [edit, no side-by-side yours look lighter – phew]

    Lovely finish, but best get some 'copter tape on there quick if you don't want it to chip 😯

    Looks good.

    Argos do some nice jobs but their paint is flimsy and after a month of riding my frame needed a respray!
    Bought a compressor and did a better job myself.

    Still looks shite.

    You should buy a new one instead of keep trying to polish a turd.

    FFS it's not even got any gears or anyfink.

    is that really an enduro? Presumably you've had mounts and cable guides brazed on. I've got a 99 one and have had a disk mount added too. Aren't they great frames. Really ride well.

    Looks good,that blue suits bikes my 853 got lots of comments, that ran all silver kit and acc's.
    I prefer it to the dark blue, though that always stood out at events.

    So glad you posted this – I'm thinking of sending my old Kona to Argos for a respray in what I think is the same colour. Pastel Blue (number 32) by any chance? Looks absolutely great.

    How long did they take to do the job?

    2.2" Rubber queens on a C2 braked/rigid forked HT? (IMO of course) I can't see very many people getting anywhere near the most out of those, only needlessly slowed down by them?

    I'd imagine (and no I've not ridden either) something like 2.4" Ralphs ought to suit better?

    How strange you know how my local trails ride like!!!
    Looking for a 2.4 upfront no chance of getting one in the back.

    This is without question THE nicest looking bike on the forum. Every incarnation of it has looked awesome but this is easily the nicest.

    Good work sir

    Yay for it, except that horrible ugly saddle which just clashes. shame really 🙁

    Same colour as my Kilauea by the looks of it (which is quite different from Singular blue FWIW)
