"Skyway TA Black Magic Project" - Deja View

(1/9) > >>

Kaner:
So I have had this project on the back burner for some time.  I bought the frame and fork set from N2CUS and I asked him to paint it in a different colour to the usual white, and I was quite keen on a dark metalic grey or black so after some discussion Neil came up with the 1 off paint colour which includes Jaguar 'Magic Black' but also includes Blue and Purple Pearl to lift it and give it an extra sheen.  In the bright daylight it looks really amazing.

So . . . you can imagine how upset I was when Meticulous revealed his Black TA, I was completely gutted and had been collecting chrome parts for mine as well so it would have been bloody identical.  So I had to go back and start again, I changed the colour scheme from Black and Chrome to Black and Red.  I think it should look pretty good when put together.

So I have got decals from Del and most of the parts, I still need and Red Seat Clamp and I have ordered a pair of Red Tri AME's which are on their way.

I hope you like it, I'm sure there will be many of you that dont, and think I'm a bit of a Philistine but it can always go back into white, so its not completely spoilt forever.  Its nice to use a bit of imagination for a change and to do something a bit different.


So lets here we go.  I will put up more photos later.

nosepickben:

Obviously, get some pics up when she's built.  :4_17_5:

Kaner:
I havent managed to get the cups in the BB so I cant finish the build tonight, gonna take it to a bike shop that can press them in for me asap and finish it off.  But this is what it looks like loosely put together so far.
