Hi folks,

got this a while back - from GAz.

Been using it as a rider and I love it.

To say it looked was a little sad was an understatement, one break lug had snapped of and the frame was half stripped.
I was unsure how to paint the thing. $:-\$

kept changing my mind on colour so I decided to clean it up and burnish it a little.

New bits fitted... 14 mm s&m forks, challenger stem and primo seat.

I have sealed it with gun oil, because it dries fully and protects - I hoping as I apply more it will add more tone.

hope you like

I do like.

Gun oil you say. I'm thinking of stripping my RV and was wondering how to protect it. Other than a clear coat. How did you burnished the frame?

wire brushes in a drill, but only tickling the surface - then wet and dried it with 1000 grade, not using water, using WD40.

A clean with a cloth and then on with the oil.

Yes Sidney

I'm liking that.

Who did the Decals?

just needs a medium-big seat pointed upwards like Concorde landing and it will be there.

When we next seeing you Brother?

Keep the the one and only Faith. L

Like that Sid - so you lopped off the remaining 1&1/2 lugs - belting idea

Love the MK1 DB decals on the raw frame - always wanted to try that gun blueing on one......

Only thing (and it's just me) is I'd swap out that gold Profile Imperial and bang on something raw alu

Looks awesome...

A sturdy frame that, but you've made it look like a sleek machine. Don't know if it's the finish/decals, the frame pad or whatever but it looks great. Good work.

very nice Si - now let's see you out on it

oldtired · « **Reply #15 on:** April 14, 2012, 11:58 AM »
