Thanks for the renewed interests in this thread the bike ended coming out great and I think I posted completed pictures on a different line of posts but that was a long time ago. I have not gotten new top tube decals as they were a bit steep from the sources available. I think however I will be...

What a beauty! Congratulations looks to be a great ride, well taken care of.

It has single position vertical rear dropouts it would be very hard to make into a single speed so if that is what you are after keep looking. Otherwise if it feels good and the price is right then why not, at least it wouldn't be a big theft target. wink.. wink...

Saddle is breaking in nicely took it for a fully loaded ride last week on the mountain with the Lady friend, it road very nicely even under load.

Beautiful!! Thank you for the close ups! Very nice of you to share, it makes me want another project but I have been unlucky recently which is great for my pocket book but not awesome for my bike addiction.

Looks great the touch up respray is spot on as far as I can tell great job looks like a nice ride! Some more close ups would be great if you have the time. A refurb worth being proud of.

Nice! can't wait to see more pictures!

Thanks guys for the nice words. Believe it or not the paint job is a combination of Auto retouch spray paint and model paints. Lots of primer and spray coats and probably not quite enough clear coat to finish it off. I think I might end up investing in a paint gun for other projects since this...

Some more pictures! With the panniers I put together! Rode the bike to work and up to my parents house and thought I would get a few more pics of the bike. Hope you all like them.

Very nice! I usually prefer all silver comps but the black looks right on in this build, nice accents to the white. The rear mech. ties it all together, artful.

I just think White is classy! Some white touch up paint can help blend the scrapes away I had to do that on that Regal. I glued the torn leather down and used a paint marker to make the tear blend a little better. Just a thought. Good luck!

I vote for the White but I really like white saddles even tatty ones just like this Regal I have on this 66' PX-10.

WOO HOO! for you. My goodness that is an amazing find, I have got to look into some more sheds I guess. Are you going to L'Eroica this October? I will be there! Congratulations again, I am green with envy.

Worth the wait! Stunning I would be a very proud papa if I were you and that was my prodigy.

Nice bike! I am not a big Farbon Ciber fan but that is a beaut!

SWEEEET! that is drool worthy what clean simple lines and awesome fade paint, I can't wait to see the full build. That will be a ball to ride.

Thank you all for the kind words it was a labor of love, and an experiment with my abilities as a painter. I try to ride it three times a week if I can without neglecting the px-10 or the Aerospace Pro. I don't like to play favorites but the Competition might be it with the PX-10 a close...

Thanks very much for the kind words! Cheers!

I have more pics of the process but I thought I would start with the before and after. It was a very fun project and the first paint job I had ever done on a bicycle I had some fun with it and I know I deviated from the original paint job but I love the way it came out and the bike rides great...

Here is the finished product out on its first ride when I stopped for a few drinks at a local bar.
