i love this build. Black on black is awesome. Black glitter on black is EPIC!
Exact same paint/part scheme i have wanted for one of my builds.
Whats the current bar and stem combo in the photo above?
some afternoon pics, couldnt get any decent shots of the glitter, i failz at photography :oops:

Jase that rocks :-D. Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh.
gyps, cheers mate. NJProAA 100mm with B123s. it actually looks more dark green than black because of the layers of sparkles, but im happy.
smurf, cheers bud
Dayum! That thing has turned out fantastic! Nice job on the home-made paintjob Jase. Looks a treat!
Dude!!
Good to see the crank went to a good cause
Where’d you pick up that headset?
rooster, cheers mate
ben, yeh worthy cause indeed :lol:. As for the head set, picked em up off ebay, the headset itself wasnt too expensive, about $40, but i paid through the nose for express shipping, athough it did arrive in about 6 days.
nice build mate! and the paint job is great. imho the b43’s look a little out of place it’s probably just the light but they seem a little mismatched to the frame. personally i’d be tempted to go for a silver/polished rim and polish up the stem,cranks,post as well. but maybe im just being picky, anyway it looks really nice, job well done!
simon, i hear what your sayin. I chose black components cos i didnt want anything but the frame to stand out. cheers for the comments bra
It looks great - very tough. I’m with you, but I’d go the even further - black stem, bars, post and cranks.
Looks fucking rad.
cheers for the comments fellas, i have to say im really likin the inner tube bar wrap. Not only is it economical, it feels great, good level of grip and good level of cushioning. Big thanks to the guy who came up with this idea…cant remember where i first saw it on here? guy with the Daccordi track?
I reckon it was the Kenevans on here.
ahh yep, that be the one.
looks great!
I like it. I might give it a try, and put a glitter over red (there’s a Keirin Vivalo at Deus atm).
if you find its scratching easily, send me a pm and i can tell you where to get 2 pac clearcoat. its not the cheapest but it makes the paint very hard and scratch resistant. should also make it smooth to the touch.
i’ve just finished up doing a silver frame with a light rainbow flake. not the same glitter stuff you used though. kinda weird coz i have the same cranks and was going to put drops with track grips/half wrap on too.
cheers mate, i wouldnt say i scratches easily, as ive sprayed about 7-8 coats of clear, albeit from a can.
great minds think alike aye? look forward to the thread dude
Nice paint job. great bike
