Good stuff. Looking forward to the transformation.

Ive never seen a black comp before! always had a soft spot for the pink/blue comp. The monkeyshred youtube channel has a few vids on the pink/blue comp.

Nice work so far :cool:

Yes !

another good suggestion

thats pretty cool actually!

oh, i take full responsibility. id not masked up the holes when I prepped/ painted the frame o_O This particular thread was tough going in, there was obviously crap in the threads ... lesson learned :oops:

Theres plenty of space .. i tried it up. The problem is my lack of skill in holding the drill steady and straight and not skimming off across the re painted downtube :eek::oops: i was thinking of "masking" up the area around the mount ... keyhole surgery 🤔 😂

Hey thanks for the suggestions all :cool:

What colour is it? is it just a few scratches that require touching in? maybe try matching it to a car touch-in? I think some folk on here use nail varnish... to touch in. if all else fails, car factors can match paint with swatch sets or paint scanners at some of the posher places.

Possibly the best tool investment I ever made

Been using something similar I cocked together. Issue is, getting the cup straight (I do one at a time) Was thinking the stepped washer arrangement might make the initial cup pull (more?) evenly balanced. Currently I get the cup started then whack it in with a rubber mallet :-/

Had a couple of hours free to spend on the bike this evening. installed headset and stem, cleaned and installed hollowtech bottom bracket, refurbed brake caliper Video clip ...
