@Adrian: Well yes, the Hammerite is way too dark and after some experiences I had with that brand I stay away.
@Chuychacon: Didn't know what you meant at first, but no, the bottle there is ATF and it's a dog (and not drinking it, of course
).
@symmo: And that again is based on the ISDT machines of the early sixties! I guess that influenced the colour scheme a bit, though I wanted a bike this colour anyway.
I put in the steering head, finished the stanchions and put some parts together. Not firmly mounted yet though:
And I got me something nice again and would like to use it on that bike. The patine would fit perfectly and I love these, but I guess I had to paint the tank in green too to go with them. I don't think they would look good on bare aluminium?!
