I like a yellow and black motomag
I've been looking at the seat leon yellow but got to find the paint code for it, maybe I could stop someone at the lights with one and ask them to pop the hood or door shut so I can get it
Anyone on here got a yellow 2004 FR TDI Leon ?

Onvi Yellow - S1H.

Thanks fella, I phoned the paint shop and they said they can mix it in solvent no problem

Like the giant pro class rims above.

Dropped some parts off to the anodiser's this morning, parts to be done,
seat clamp
disc adapter
front and rear dropout savers
cranks

I have cut out the gusset and got the anodising back today, the black parts are hard black and the dura ace cranks are now a one off colour of gun metal blue

The final welding for the frame is booked for next week and I'll post some more pics when this is completed

Shoundn't do Animal, TIG is a more controlled than MIG and I didn't cool it, all cooled down oh naturale,
If I had dunked it in water afterwards it would cause the metal to go brittle that's for sure.
Thanks for the heads up, i'll will look into it

What I did notice is when I held all the parts in the correct position while he tacked them they didn't even get luke warm , if it was MIG it would have cooked my pinkies.

Believe it or not but I haven't even tried to ride it yet but I know it will be fine.
Mrs snoopy

and has got me doing some major alterations to the garden, if I try and finish the bike now the

so it's on the back burner, the most important bits, engineering, anodising, tube bending and welding is now complete so at least if I can paint it sometime before the end of summer i'll be happy
To be fair the Mrs

has been very patient throughout the whole project

couple of more items ,

I have been informed by a reliable source that these are the wrong year grips, I may look into this a bit further to get the right year, need to be anti blister, clear and era correct though. BITD I only ever used odi mushrooms and I won't be fitting mongoose (BLISTER) grips.
