3cm bigger I'd have had this glws

Thanks for all the comments guys, I'm very lucky to have a spare room that I can do this with. Luckily or not (depending how you look at it) I know longer have a better half so I can get away with it for the moment. Have to admit I do like being able to see them all the time :)

Re: Re: I know, it needs a few friends :) That sign is huge, don't think I have a wall big enough for it.

Thanks for all the comments guys, The frame and paint job really are the star of the show on this build. Pictures do it no justice at all.

Thanks, still got the rest as well :) although I shouldn't really. I've done a post with them all here viewtopic.php?f=23&t=385995

I was asked on different thread if I still had the rest of my collection. The short answer is yes, I shouldn't as I had really started to run out of room and should have been working to 1 in 1 out. What I decided to do instead was convert the spare room in to a bike display room / office. And...

Re: Re: Thanks, and I use Del at Delcalsigns for my decals (del@delcalsigns.co.uk) And Mark Ralph at MRCreations for my paint.

I'll add some more out door pics when I get chance to put it out in the sun. Its phenomenal in the daylight.

Re: And the finished bike. I'm so pleased with this I just keep sitting looking at it. I even put it in the show at Eroica to show it off, they liked it to :) I hope you like it and as always any and all comments welcome.

Re: These pictures should have gone 1st, close ups of the frame details. Remember its all painted.

Re: Once picked up I started to build ........

Re: It was now time for paint ..... so off it went to Mark Ralph at MRCreations. About 2 weeks later he started to tease me with some pictures, couldn't believe how well it had come out. Arranged a time to collect ..... couldn't wait.

Re: I then sent off for 2 sets of decals, these were needed so that 1 could be used to show my painter where they went and so that the 2md set could be used for making templates.

Re: it was now time to get the frame painted. Unfortunately my painter was now on a 2 month lead time but there was no way it was going any where else as we'd spoken about it and I knew exactly how I wanted it ........... no decals ! The only decals this frame was going to have were the...

Re: Once back it sat under the bed while I gathered the parts. The frame was an 87 build so was perfect to build the bike the 88 team used. They changed the frame slightly in 89. This meant a full complement of Dura Ace 7402 the hunt was on. As you may have seen from my other builds I like to...

Re: There were a couple of areas that had more surface rust than 1st thought so it was sent straight to my painter who took it back to bare metal and primed it for me.

Thought it was about time that I shared my latest build ......... Ever since I was 15 I've always thought there was something special about the Raleigh Team Banana bikes. And remember always wanting the 531 version way back when. Best part of 30 years later and with a little more money behind...

Have to agree with the above and like wise always use Look Delta and never have this problem.

Ok thanks, o is it a pair of the slick ones or the treaded ones ? They are both in pictures. Thanks Paul
