Yea, I have plenty of paint left too so I'll be alright for touch ups. Yea it's been good, I don't think I knew how much effort people put in to change things about and do a decent sprayjob. If I see any old road bikes at a market or something I'd be extremely tempted to buy it to do up. You...

Thanks, it looks very summery although we are into winter now. It isn't on the left side, the picture was inverted for the comparison pick. You can see on the photo above its actually on the right. I'll get the seat adjusted and the rest of the bike sorted tonight I hope then back to riding...

Sure did, bit of a pain and took 3 hands but got there in the end. Need to get the bar tape changed tomorrow then sort the back breaks. Think I annoyed the sticker guy asking him to just do the down tube stickers as I didn't get a reply. I'm gonna get in touch with him again now.

Update!!! Nearly there.

I have no problem at all doing it on my other seat so It felt daft asking about it to be honest. I think I'm going to need that third hand to sort this out. Thanks for the help.

Here's everything.

Thanks for the reply. I took it apart easy and I can re fit it to the old seat no problem at all but it just doesn't seem to go on the new seat all. It's two bolts either side by the way.

Hoping to get this finished today or tomorrow but I can't for the life of me get the new seat to fit on.

I've got this for sale, good condition, open to offers.. Can provide better pictures if needed.

That does look nice history man. Richard - I got an email from dizzy bird and here's what he had for £20+pnp The sizes are: down tube 220 x 30 (bounding oval) with text at 206 x 17 mm, seat tube 234 x 30 mm (bounding oval) 219 x 21 mm text. I might ask if he can just do the down tubes.

Thats for digital prints. Surely I can have stickers made cheaper than that?

How lame is it if I don't go with Barry Hoban stickers and instead replace them with something else. I don't really fancy spending £23 on stickers really. Any other suggestions? as long as they are white letters I'm fine with it.

Pretty expensive getting decals isn't it. I'll give them a message to see what they can do for barry hoban decals and at what price. Thanks for the links.

The sanding was fairy easy, took a few hours. Then I was lucky enough to know someone who works on a paint line which was good as they mainly work with orange which is what I wanted so today it's been sprayed and stuck in the oven to dry. That decal company still didn't get back to me so I may...

One more. Not great pics.

Update: bike frame sanded then painted and put in the oven... Bike seat and bar tape arrived this morning.

Will these 100% fit my bike?

Yeh, my bar tape is going to be white too. I guess I'm aiming for this kinda colour.. New tires should be here tomorrow and I'll crack on with some more sanding.

290 is crazy! Maybe I'll go for this one, it's on offer for £19.99
