Look what turned up from SBD today
« on: September 01, 2010, 08:23 PM »
1983 GT Pro frame,forks and bars done in my version of black chrome,ultra chrome base coat with transluscent black top coat.In the sunlight it has a really faint hint of brown and looks fantastic.The cost,packaging and service were brilliant,recommended to everyone.

It is being built using pro class polished rims with GT hubs,Helix stem and Tange headset,Kashimax leather seat(needs re-covering),Redline twin pinch crank until i can afford a real one.One question i want your advice on-i have a GT layback seatpost,do i get it done in the same colour as the frame or leave it chrome?,i cant decide.

Forgot to mention,i had to import the transluscent black from Rosie`s in America because Dan doesn`t stock it.Hopefully that is going to change.

Tim - that's lush bud but keep the seatpost chrome for contrast. Here's a pic of my ProClass I had done by FHMreader and my MiniClass by N2Cus so you can see what I mean.... :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:





Any news on the little old ebay parcel yet bud - I might be checking this bike out in the flesh when I call round to Derby ;-)
