Those handlebars aren't going to stay pink very long.  In fact, they've already started to go.  Perhaps one or two coats of clear varnish would keep the dirt transfer off without altering the color or compromising the feel of the bar wrap? On 12/13/19 9:27 AM, James / Analog Cycles wrote: We r

Re: [RBW] Pink'd out Atlantis Build

Back in the day, the V-1 was the first widely available helmet that didn’t look … dorky? The Bell Biker always looked to me like a small bathroom sink turned upside down. They made a Touring model that looked a little better. But the V-1 had that “leather hairnet” design that looked “cool.” I h

I love crackle paint, black chrome, fades, just spare me the flame paint jobs! On Friday, December 13, 2019 at 1:33:47 PM UTC-5, John McClusky wrote: > > Wow! Wish I’d had that when I was racing mountain bikes back in ‘87. > Beautiful job, James. > > John (fondly remembering crackle paint a
