Post by: Gary72 on April 04, 2008, 11:19 PM: Did DEL sort the decals for you????
Title: Re: Amtrac nearly done.....
Post by: Gary72 on April 04, 2008, 11:22 PM: Sorry, forgot to say I really like the look of that :daumenhoch:
What happened to the original forks in the first pic?
Title: Re: Amtrac nearly done.....
Post by: oberonspacefruit on April 04, 2008, 11:24 PM: you know he did. he designed them, when i gave him my monochrome brief.

and i complained, cos i asked for the wrong sizes, cos im fickle, and he sorted it with no hassle, and didnt blink an eye.

del is like a rennaisance master when it comes to decals.

there were not original, i can only presume they were mongoose, as they had a rubber bung in the steerer tube, that had the "clawing mongoose" logo cast in to it.

they made the bike look way too skinny up the front.

Post by: DR VINOAH on April 04, 2008, 11:31 PM: im liking that alot grandmaster fruit :coolsmiley:

tuffs & lg,s winning combo :smitten:

and the decals are spot on

somthing different from the forsaken red/white/blue
Title: Re: Amtrac nearly done.....
Post by: oberonspacefruit on April 04, 2008, 11:34 PM: yeah, i didnt like the red white and blue. to many colour options.

robinsons are good bikes, but the decals left somthing to be desired imo.

Post by: hunterdubber on April 05, 2008, 12:48 AM: Dear Philip :4_17_5:

Get that in Bike of the month now

It'd get my vote

Yeah that sounded like a very good remark praise from 'The Man from Del monte ' (Boferoo)

I'm pleased when he acknowledges my builds with a grunt or anything other than ' Why have you bought one o' them ,,,they're shit' ;)

;D

See you Sunday Fruitbat

'spose I better mention the bike- I'd have to go with the guvnor and agree that it is rather stunning, just be careful not to drop it in Bradfords first 'berm'! (single file mud-track, speedway stylee)

Okay, I'll put another way... did they come that pointy (XC I) or are they XC II ( the teeth have a flat top) that have been under the knife ;)

Sorry to hear about your fingers, have a bottle of New Skin on me...
