Look what turned up from SBD today

[TIMMO1966]

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.

looks nice tim, sbd is the man

[stevochb]

Very nice mate, you can always count on dan to do a top job

[brettypeeps]

Looking great Tim now get it built

[Rodgy1970]

looks good 

[Mattdub]

Very nice  . I'd like to see pics in less sun too when built perhaps , just to see any change/tone kinda thing 

[TIMMO1966]

No problem Matt,the photos just dont do it justice.

[Steve P]

Very nice and I'm liking that colour alot 

Dan is (without question) the best and I'll be boasting another of his 1st class finishes very soon too 

[TIMMO1966]

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.

[markyp]

wow that looks lush!the elusive black chrome nora,cant wait to see this one done

[Gashead]

Great finish and sweet colour 


Dan you have a GT on the way from me - same as above please 

[Macmania]

WOW  Looks amazing, can't wait to see this built up 

[TIMMO1966]

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.

[TIMMO1966]

Just took a couple of photos in different light but i think it is a bit too dark

[MartyC]

That looks amazing; no doubting Dan does a great job and is a nice bloke to boot 

[snav69]

 

I had something very special delivered of Dan on Tues  and the finish is out of this world 

 

[Spen69]

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....





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 ;-)

[TIMMO1966]

Not turned up yet Spen,but you know you own half when it does arrive.If its not here by tomorrow i`ll message him.

[TIMMO1966]

Got to agree with the contrast Spen,defo the way to go,post and wheels chrome ,same as the cranks,all other parts in red.Hopefully building if i dont get to wasted at the party tonight.thanks for the pics.

[TIMMO1966]

Started the build this lunchtime once the hangover lifted,Helix stem,Tange headset and GT Pro bars




Hope yo all like

[MartyC]

Looks really good, are you going for chrome decals?

[TIMMO1966]

Thanks Martyc,i was going to ask that once it was built because i couldnt decide or remember if that was what mine had bitd so yes i am

Cool, I'm lookign forward to seeing this built up; I reckon it's going to look stunning 

[TIMMO1966]

Nearly finished

Had to give up on the Redline cranks because i couldnt get the bearing cups in.

[TIMMO1966]

Now with stickers on,NOS RED DC1000 rear brake to go on seeing as i just won one on the bay and Suntour arrow seatclamp,now to build the wheels when they turn up.Took a few photos from different angles to try and capture the colour,see what you think
