1952 Hill Special Path Racer - new pics!

40 minutes of headwind, 20 minutes of stupidly fast fun.

Its still here, some bigger gearing to lollop along the fens and some shop soiled SKS mudguards after the Bluemells got damaged. Seems a good resting spot for my Brooks as well.

Wheels are a fill in until I find 'something'.

Is there a body in that phorensic tent behind it?

 

[legrandefromage]

Yes.

 

[Peachy!]

I'd be tempted to have a candy/flamboyant translucent paint applied directly over that chrome, it would sing to the heavens when the sun hits it!
(it could also disguise/distract from the scufs & buffs)

Must get back to this and give it some better wheels. I didnt get on with the fixed either so it will be gears all the way.

 

[The History Man]

I knew it would end in tears.

not giving up, just not so good on this frame. Will have another go with something else another day.

Small update

spare Nisi rims and Gipiemme chainset plus some Suntour ARX mechs.

rides nice still, great to polish and stare at in the sunshine.

You got sunshine? Just bloody sleet here!

Liking the new tackle..... did you not fancy dressing it in that Blue Line set you have?
