seven....ish. the paints a tad soft so ill leave a few more days before clear coat, well chuffed the shadow bits worked and decals are a different shade to the paint. subtle enough without being plain.
need to get the wheels cleaned and either new decals or none and finish cleaning the front brake rocker wheel thingy for the stem.

Re: another bloomin british steel project-overburys pioneer
well, the paint sealer is on and its gone a tad duller than expected. used the same gloss sealer/lacquer as the paint i used, ill give it a few more coats and some good lacquer on top. in fairness though it does look like copper pipes now so all is not lost.
realisation of 3 projects currently on the go and crimbo round the corner has mad me slow down a bit spending so the new cassette, chain, headset, post ................etc will wait a bit (although a nice headset will allow it to be semi-built and stored safer)
ill get some better pics up at weekend, need to sell some stuff now so while the cameras out

Are those the original forks? It's just that I haven't seen non-tapered ones like that on an Overbury's before - but great looking rattlecan skills!

Re: another bloomin british steel project-overburys pioneer
cheers dude
forks are, im afraid generic cromo, still light to be fair but it would be nice to find some originals.......without the silly price :facepalm: or some rs1's but that will never happen with the length steerer mines got.
built up the forks, headset and stem to the frame this evening, no pics as yet but im super chuffed!!!! the wheels are fitted minus cassette just to see what it looks like and it feels fairly light too! fingers crossed my new bars and seatpost are here tomorrow for a new pic. the rest will have to wait though due to over spending this month and really wanting to bench polish the crank, brakes etc :facepalm: what happened to just building normal bikes ffs :roll:

Re: another bloomin british steel project-overburys pioneer
