BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:






well just got round to buying some starchem of ebay, as the nitromors is as much use as a chocolate oven  ::) even though i did have a couple of goes with the new stuff as the yellow paint was bloody hard to shift ~ still got some bits to get off in places
But i though i would show you any way before i carry on ;)


two questions for you lot to answer

Right now i'm stuck  ???  when i first got this fame in i had thought of how it would go and look - now nearly 4 years on i have learnt more and the wrongs and rights of building (well a little bit  ;D)
i have tw0 ideas of maybe what it could look like
1. is yellow powdercoat with blue and chrome parts (this would be a close colour yellow to the original look it had
2. see if it will polish up and sort of leave it survivor style ~ the added tubing should polish up and the rest of the frame i will do my best but there will still be marks ~ again it will be blue and chrome parts

so second part is, it's a April '83 Team frame - hutch trickstar style frame stand and extra tubing on the down tube to seat tube - i have two sets of goose forks i can use for it ~ the chrome 1" or the 7/8" that came with the frame that can be powdered
So do i build it up as early '83 style or later freestyle style ? i know the yellow or the chrome will also make a difference to the look

so...

chrome early look ?

yellow early look ?

chrome freestyle look ?

yellow freestyle look ?

so lease let em know your thoughts  ???

cheers B  ;)

Because it is what it is

Has to be

Yellow freestyle look


Not sure about the blue parts though  Bendy,,its a bit  GT themed yellow and blue  :-\

maybe red , silver or black parts  would be better  :daumenhoch:

kalex:
i like yellow frames

but as yours is a freestyle i would go with a more wacky colour, plus as it's a one of a kind you don't have to go with a factory spec'd colour

Pooch:
That is cool bendy :coolsmiley:
