1988 Brodie Romax

[Canuckbiker]

I have a newly formulated plan now which I think ticks the box of keeping the fade and satisfies my urge to make the build my own.

This involves repainting my ICR stem yellow with red decals and repositioning the "brodie" decals to the downtube, some prefer leaving it up front on the top tube if that's how it came originally. If I went this direction I'll have two "brodie" decals far too close to each other I think, plus I like the downtube positioning and really want to add "romax" decals.

I will repaint the fork, stem and stays and touch up the main triangle

I actually like this mock up best of all so far

Overboard OCD lately?

Build progress

Did this last week before the frame went for repair, I figure I will treat certain tubing insides further for potential rust before assembly, Evaporust bath first



Ended up making two trips to Jimbo’s this weekend due to my decal needs changing yesterday, always great hanging out a drooling over his collection , thanks @jimbotoad



Turns out “John Deere Yellow” is a very good match

@Canuckbiker no hanging about then?!* When you get an idea in your head, you GO for it!

John Deere yellow - what a cool colour!!!

I love the look of that fade, can't wait to see the results.

I've been a bit absent here for a bit of July and most of August. What a great score Dave. I'm glad that you're sticking with the original paint for the time being. Build plans look pretty solid to me, and the final mock-up looks sweet!
