Cyclecraft is another one of those brands that I don't really remember from bitd but the more I see and read about them, the more I like 'em! Good luck with the build - am looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

looking pretty sweet so far.
good solid base to build off.

[Calorrado]

Cheers all, here are a few pics of the weekends work, blue grape pearl and 3 coats of clear

Colour is SWEET! 

[Taipan]

Colour looks sweet fella but I think a CycleCraft looks best with Its Iconic Splatter paint job

I agree... splatter paint looks awesome on these but that is a really nice colour though. 

[Calorrado]

I love the splatter decal set too but they only work well on a white frame otherwise Cyccraft sell a white backed decal but it just looks wrong on the darker coloured paints.
i have now ordered a foil backed 1984 decal set, maybe a year or so older than the frame but seen as it will be more of a custom build than an period specific one I don't mind and they will work well with the theme.
Anyway have the infrared lamp on it now and paint should be cured for a start on the build this weekend.

[Calorrado]

Thanks guys, I think I will de-sticker those rims though, text looks a bit modern for the build.

Holy shite, those hubs are the sexiest bike components i've ever seen

Liking the colours... looks nice.

Cheers Ben, they nos 2009 track hubs, Phil Wood made a ltd run of 100 sets, they spin forever.

Thanks all for the positive comments, it's tucked away for the winter now but will be used next year for my weekly sunny eve pub cycle, can't wait...

Suppose I better look out for the next build

Very nice.  Love the blue and chrome. 

[maffman125]

Very nice, bit of a sucker for the old splatter decals but love the paint colour.

I'm building a cyclecraft pro xl 20", can't wait, used to race one years ago
