My custom frame and paint job.....

[betty swollocks]

The finished bike looks half done to me.

It would be better if the striped design had been carried on to the stays and, possibly, the forks.

That would have been overkill imo. I adore Candy just the way she is - as I intended her to be.

One might think the kill was already 'overed'.

Obvious question which hasn't been asked.

How much was the paint job?

The frame and bike bits are up to the individual, but it would be interesting to get an idea how much it would cost to customize a frame already in your possession.

Thing of beauty! Lovely stuff.

[QUOTE 4500693, member: 9609"]Only one range ? (one chainring)[/QUOTE]
SRAM 1x11 - plenty enough for me thanks.
My Rohloff bike has 14 gears of which I probably only use 9 or 10 and my fixed has, er, 1.

Took Candy out on our first hot date this morning, to my favourite avenue of trees and my spiritual home, Walbury Hill.

Lovely! Says "fun" all over to me, those pictures make me smile.

Looks more of a Bertie to me

Actually my main inspiration was the Coral snake.

"Swingers Directory" would be more apt.

[QUOTE 4501085, member: 9609"]my 2x7only has 9 ratios of which I only ever use 7 so 11 is plenty.
I was more thinking on the lines of side bend in chain, presumably the chainring points to the centre of the cassette and obviously works fine.[/QUOTE]

The zinc finish on the spoke nipples what were you thinking!

When I decided to restore a 1956 Moto Guzzi Cardellino, I got advice from all over Europe. I realised very quickly that the only person I was going to keep happy was me. So many people had so many ideas of how thevrestoration should proceed.

In the end it was my money and I was happy with the result



I think Betty Swallocks bikebis great.

Great looking bike. Love the 1x11 set up.

 

[hatler]

I think you'll be very happy together.
