Atlantis blue. so weird but it's obviously just that regularly hillborne slate

The clearcoat over bare steel finish showed up on several proto frames of 
various models and was offered as an option on production bikes for a short 
while. It didn't take long for people to start fretting about seeing rust 
form and that party was over!

The palm green is a great color for a trail bike and one I've considered

Yeah the low-keyness of the current raw finish is a pretty big plus in that
regard, as I do have to lock it up around town - the orange of my Sam

Re: [RBW] Re: What's your favorite painting of a Bombadil?

2021-03-25 Thread Eric Marth
Jason -- I'm one who loves natural finishes and the way things look as they 
wear out. Patinated copper, weathered cedar, diamond plate steel thresholds 
with 100 years of foot traffic.

There isn't a paint that can compete with the subtle gradations in steel or 
*especially* the sweet brass brazing around the lugs. Few things are as 
lovely as that delightful blend of copper and zinc.

I understand there may be issues with corrosion over time but if regular 
spot-coating gives you enough peace of mind to roll on then I'd say keep it 
as is. 

I'm not much for decals, either. The head badge is plenty! Subtlety can be 
sublime.

 Thanks for the suggestions!  I know what you mean Michael about 
 choosing a paintjob that's too near an original color without being an 
 original color. I have thought about Atlantis blue-green too, as its such 
 a 
 beautiful and iconic color but I also think it is for Atlantis' and 
 Atlantis' alone. Similarly I've thought about Riv blue because it's just 
 awesome, but also not very imaginative. 

 The grey of Joe's custom is pretty enticing as an option, to be honest, 
 though I would just do a white/cream panel headtube and seat tube collar.  
 British Racing green is also up near the top of the list now, thanks for 
 the suggestion!  I've always loved it as a colour and it does look great 
 on 
 the Bombadil - and is a homage to my Clem H which I sold to fund this 
 Bombadil...

 The grey of Joe's custom is pretty enticing as an option, to be honest, 
 though I would just do a white/cream panel headtube and seat tube collar.  
 British Racing green is also up near the top of the list now, thanks for 
 the suggestion!  I've always loved it as a colour and it does look great 
 on the Bombadil - and is a homage to my Clem H which I sold to fund this 
 Bombadil...
