the frame/ forks and cranks got grit-blasted yesterday and its being powder-coated tonight.

i got a set of profile cranks for 150.

now i need a 39 tooth sprocket because the rear is 14 and i dont want to buy a new rear wheel.

and i need a chain...

more pics tonight.

[shmeado]

[melbourne rider]

gritt-blasted!!!

its going all gloss black with an annodised red headset and a silver stem and seatclamp.

and maybe a gold chain?? :rolleyes:

[ronald mcdonald]

looks good for mucking around but once you spray it it will look way better. I especially like the birdbath in the background though:p

[melbourne rider]

I like it, except for the stem, seatclamp and dinner plate...

[Binaural]

That bike is going to be able to break the sound barrier if you can push that gear properly. Should be an excellent bike to get around on :)
