I finished this up on the weekend. Pretty happy with it.
I bought the frame from the forum a while ago. The paint was a bit rough so I sent it off to the sandblasters and then to my mate who is a spray painter. I asked him to paint a ‘coca cola’ colour and left it in his hands. The end result is so nice in the sun.
So after sourcing all the parts over the last few months, she is complete. Yesterday wasn’t ideal for pics so I will update when the sun comes out.
Frame 19XX? Hillman fillet brazed frame Wheels Gold B43 rear wheel 19T Cog. Deep V front, 700x23 Vittoria Rubino Tyres Drivetrain 48T chainring on a 170mm SRAM S-300 crankset, SRAM GXP Bottom Bracket, Black Spank Tweet Tweet chain, Shimano SPD Pedals Cockpit Chris King Headset, Thomson Headstem, Salsa pro moto carbon handlebars, Jetblack lock on grips Saddle Thomson seat post and the most uncomfortable saddle which will be replaced shortly
if you can still see the frame number give Gordon a ring at Hillman, they’ll probably still have the build order and if so could tell you when & what it is. Gordon’s pretty obliging that way.
Yeah, the paint is based on a new mazda colour, then my mate added more metallic and a few other things that he called flips n flops. I have no idea. Then a crap load of clear coat.
