Title: Look what turned up from SBD today
Post by: TIMMO1966 on September 01, 2010, 08:23 PM: 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.

Title: Re: Look what turned up from SBD today
Post by: Steve P on September 01, 2010, 11:49 PM: Very nice and I'm liking that colour alot :smitten:

Dan is (without question) the best and I'll be boasting another of his 1st class finishes very soon too :4_17_5:
Title: Re: Look what turned up from SBD today
Post by: TIMMO1966 on September 02, 2010, 07:55 PM: 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.

Title: Re: Look what turned up from SBD today
Post by: TIMMO1966 on September 02, 2010, 08:31 PM: 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.

Post by: Spen69 on September 03, 2010, 04:53 PM: 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.... :smitten: :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:
