    Yes, those are the original decals and they´re terrible!!! Which is a shame because i think it undervalued an otherwise nice frame (at the time). In the end i decided not to use any, just the lug lining and 531 decals.

    Yep! :roll: Mine once flew off on a fast bumpy descent too, it flew so fast that when it hit the ground it just kept going at almost my speed. I had time to stop and pick it up. Unfortunately it just keeps working flawlessly after all the falls, i just can´t justify the expense of replacing...

    I have made around 1000kms with this bike and starting to have paint chips already. When i can i will strip the paint again and have it copper plated. I will do the lug lining again but this time in white.

    I used aluminium tubing, cut it in half, shaped it, sanded and lightly polished. It´s not perfect but does it´s job very well.
