I'm currently in the assembly stages on a Schwinn Tempo custom and a GT Karakoram custom for two friends of mine. Then I get to finally refurbish my own bike. If people here want I can post those too. Let me know.

On most of the bikes I fix up I spray everything, but I do like to get the tubing decals if at all possible, so it looks as close to a factory custom as possible. I always try to get the correct lettering back on the bike so someone can identify the year of the bike just by viewing the...

Here is the next picture for you guys. I'm always relieved and excited when I finish one.

Hi Dare, thanks for the kind words. Yeah, I sprayed the script rather than using decals. Don't get me wrong, I would love it if I could get my hands on some decals for all the bikes I fix up. It would save me so much time. Does anyone know of a place that does custom high quality water slide...

Here are pictures of the completed bike. The pictures really don't do the bike justice, it's really amazing in person. This picture kind of shows the little tiny ghost graphic that are placed here and there on the bike. You can just see one on the lower chain stay, and a partial one on the...

After about 3 weeks of cure time, I started final assembly. My favorite part, it's always cool when it all comes together and starts taking shape in the end. I saved all the original components so the bike is all Deore LX. I took everything apart and rebuilt it then I polished everything I...

Re: If you cant tell from the picture I painted the frame and forks using a pearl mint green with candy lime green on top of that, then did a linear fade using true blue pearl. The colors are essentially blue and green. The blue sort of can look purple in different lights, so I'm just making...

Re: I'll probably post the second phase of paint and assembly pictures in the next couple of days. I have to resize them before posting. Still trying to get the hang of this forum.

Re: Without further ado, here are some of the in process photos.

Re: Just so everyone.s clear, the above picture is a before shot. It's not my bike anymore, I donated it to a local youth organization for their auction. It sold for quite a bit more than I thought it would, so I was pretty excited about that afterwards. I might even do another one for next year.

I'm guessing nobody is particularly offended I painted over this horror show, it's not like it was a smoke paint job, or even a tastier splatter job. Look forward to any input or guesses on what I ended up doing to this one.

This is my first thread here, or attempt at a thread. Please be patient with me, as I'm very new to this site and it's posting procedures. I looked around for more information on pic posting etc. and didn't see anything. I'm sure it was right there in front of me, like always and I just...

Re: I have a question concerning this bike. I am looking at a very similar bike at the moment. I'm wondering whether $200 is a fair price for this bike. I'm looking at a 94 Fervor in candy red, with a rigid fork and Deore LX group on it. I've checked the stats on this bike and everything...

Re: I'll keep my eyes peeled, but I've never seen that color before. I do have two black light Karakoram's. Do you have a GT fork you can get painted to match? I match stuff all the time, and can tell you it's absolutely possible. All you need to match is the frame.

Re: I do so love the Klein paint schemes and colors. I've never seen one in real life though. It looks as though the paint jobs are fluorescent, is this accurate' or are they just ultra bright colors?

Re: I'm currently doing a road bike in a pearl white,of sorts, and it DOES look very nice. I guess depends on if you"re going for cool or nice. The yellow and black scheme sounds good too. Looks like yo have a big decision ahead of you. I can't wait to see it getting done

Re: Since you asked for opinions, I can state mine without feeling like I'm butting in. How about just doing a re spray to original colors and scheme? If not, then how about just going really F ing crazy and doing a Union Jack fade on it. I mean literally, not just the colors. Paint a British...

Re: I just missed out on one of those on my local CL. It was white though. Very nice find. I love the shark tooth on the u-brake very original touch. It looks very nice indeed. Where do you guys find all these decals at? I must be doing something wrong.

Re: What kind of rear deraileur is that? I can see that it says Paul, but I've never seen one before. It looks pretty bad a$$.

I notice some of you guys like these tires here, so I thought of you all when I saw this today. Actually nice tires for a decent price considering they are NOS. Have at it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-VINTAGE-PAN ... 2c94598818
