Little update.........
Spray paint was over some real snotty lacquer which has proven to be right stubborn  :crybaby:.
Off it went to a Lad I know to be plonked in his stripping tank,unfortunately this cleaned off all the bluing round the welds so the candy over raw plan is now Fooked  :bellend:. On a brighter note he did knock up some lovely shims for the 1 1/4" head tube so I can run the 1" Kore street forks I found so not all bad. Been refurbing the big fat smack daddy's & got a crupi piston stem sorted  :teef:

Right mid kid's, plan A has Fooked off & plan B has been put in place. When I got the thing I really liked the raw look with the bluing to the welds n everything. Unfortunately that went tits up when I got it dunked as it took it off. Decided a nice candy red was in order & Dan was up for the job, then had a chat with my mate Dave. He has an og raw Streetbeat & always liked the look of it & he offered to have a whack at bluing it up again & giving it a shine up n that. Thought well it can't hurt to try & can powder over if it fooks up. Anyway, sent some pics yesterday & fook me what a difference, some will hate it but I think it's ace & can't wait to pick it up later today(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160429/4ff9af3f9fc50ad3b781a9d0d2effdb5.jpg)(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160429/54ecaad74f0a6a78675d615f90596866.jpg)

Great job mate, it looks fantastic!
You can get lacqeur which will stick, made by MIPA it's 2k but a 5:1 mix...made for raw banisters etc. I should still be able to obtain it, used to use it on the polished ally wheels, real good stuff  :daumenhoch:
How about getting the decals done as a rub on, sticking them on then spray/fade around them, then peel them off and lacquer over...bit hard to explain but you would be left with the MORALES in raw with an outline... I reckon would look killer  :daumenhoch:

Thanks Damo, now I've got my hands on it I reckon this wax stuff is the answer. It stops the rust,won't chip or flake & it's easy to redo if required. Will shine up nice after after few more layers

Had a little bit of a build session, had to do a bit of bodgery on the fishbone to get it round the larger head tube & come up with a way of holding the rear cables. Because this frame is pre production, they helpfully forgot to fit the cable guide on the down tube & drill/tap the seat tube .

Finally got a little time to fondle this today. Got pretty much everything else ready to nail on when I eventually make my mind up on the wheels

Finally got the wheels sorted & done a bit more. Had real hassle with the crank & chainwheel, the front of the chainwheel must be damaged around the spindle hole & won't run straight when fitted up. Lots of head scratching,different cranks then hammers & couldn't get it sorted. Thought I'd spin it round & try it, fitted straight on & has a very slight wobble but it'll be right 😁(http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160625/cbc35b2360b087618c1cfe55c2d3cc56.jpg)

Liking that  :daumenhoch: not sold on the bars but that's just a personal thing. As regards to the sprocket did you check around where the sprocket bolt nips up? A problem there will haveten cause a wobble.

Thanks bud, bars are an acquired taste but had em ages & determined to use them in something  :LolLolLolLol:
The sprocket looks great to the eye. Obviously must be something wrong on that side ???
