"Gun metal" Grey?
"Battle ship" Grey?
I think it looks good.
-
Just for confirmation... If you show an unfinished build on here do you then have to finish it that month to enter it in BOTM???
Cause if not, i'll show you mine after it got back from the powdercoaters!! :coolsmiley:
-
some like to finish the whole bike and then drop it on the forum,
i just post bits as it developes :LolLolLolLol:
cheers for the comments though guys!

Are you not happy with the colour Joe?

Are you not happy with the colour Joe?
not at all :-\
i cant get my head round it,
so its going on e-bay :LolLolLolLol:
dan, it was going to be dark grey with silver parts,chrome rims etc,
maybe i'll have it hung around and think about it more,
i regret not going with the plan to do it baby blue but its not really a mid school colour,
and all the "army greens" i've seen were the wrong shade,
so went with the grey,
i kick myself now for not doing the whole thing black.
aah well,
-
Thats beautiful Joe whats wrong with you :LolLolLolLol:
:) DINGO :)
-
you could always trade it for this frame/forks and bars

:) DINGO :)

Grey is too shiny, i think grey should always be that flat/matt effect, just my 2p.
Not dissing it though, very nice frame and castillo bars?
-
I agree a black or graphite grey would look awesome but I don't think that grey is too bad. I don't think the yellow Holmes decal does it any favours though! Why not try some different colours decals that compliment the grey!
I suppose you can't escape the yellow n red s&m shield though
-
i like the colour . its like battle ship grey...it looks kinda millitary
the old style army green holmes were cool its a nice twist on that army feel... :daumenhoch:
-
the H.M.S HOLMES :LolLolLolLol:
everytime i look at it i just see "primer" :-\
-
looks good :)
-
m not sure but i think you may be right little bit too light grey and shiny .decals dont help either but hey build it ride it crash few times and hey no one will cae with all the scuffs etc on the paint :LolLolLolLol:
-
interesting in that color, but it does look nice!
-
looks awesome imho, is it for sale then? how much?

frame stands me at just under £150 from start to finish,
you can have it for that,posted,
bar and forks for sale if frame goes :LolLolLolLol:
-
I think it's the down tube sticker that throws it out...
The frame colour looks great :daumenhoch:
Very mid 80s Diamond Back ;D
-
superb as ever DSD, looks sweet!
-
i like it joe makes a change from the black or dark green ones you normally see. put some wheel n tyres on it and see what it looks like :-\
-
some haro multisurface 3 white walls i think would look good with it.......
-

i quite like it but i think it looks short for a holmes.....
the grey int so bad mate ...if you was that unhappy why did you steam in with the decals????
if it was mine i would get some hms holmes decals made up and turn that into a battle ship...go al military with the font like old standard decals it would look great
