Picked my Rickman up from the powdercoaters today and couldn't resist making a start on it

I love blue and white bikes so picked this blue which is RAL 5012

They don't look wrong in white Olly

and they only came in chrome or white originally. I have a white one (Race bike).

It is nice to be different though

should look real good when stickered up.

Should look lush at MK, in the Rickman tent

Spot on so far mate, nice choice of blue rather than white.

jonnydiezel · « **Reply #11 on:** June 23, 2012, 02:51 PM »

Love that blue , and yes nice to see a non standard issue colour.
Always thought I might change my white one to flour green one day.

And noticed no pegs on rear but pegs on forks, opposite way round to the one Rick is doing at the moment :-)

looking very very nice

this is going to be one of them "wrong" (well to the purists anyway)

but look so right when its done builds . really really liking it mate

Love it!

I had mine in Ford Monza (electric blue) after seeing the GT completes bitd.

My rebuild's been a work in progress for a looooong time now

real nice blue

of course it is, its a GT colour

benno · « **Reply #15 on:** June 23, 2012, 06:11 PM »

cheers for the comments guys

The blue was inspired by the old gt colour ,or the blue that haro sports came in , well along them lines anyway
gonna get on to Del to get some custom decals made same font and style etc just in different colours.
Looking back through old archives you could order rickmans with or without the standers bitd so dont mind not having any on the back ,
Also i've seen an ad/price list from bitd which says you could have them in a few different colours, but these were probably a special order ,
i'll try and get a pic up if i get chance

WINI · « **Reply #16 on:** June 23, 2012, 06:19 PM »

It's gonna get ridden so it's got new tuffs, repop kashi, and the dreaded twin pinch
