Thanks mate.

They are a bit too nice to paint but not sure how they will fair if they didn't get painted.

I appreciate you've got to get them painted - just seems a shame to cover up Mr. Potts wonderful craftsmanship

Very nice forks indeed and will look great with decals and a clear coat ..

Great, I'm impatient to see the frame with the stem and the type II fork painted. What colour do you choose ?

Yeah me too

Not sure on colour yet. Steve just painted a nice bike in gunmetal blue that might look pretty cool. I was also thinking of having the top part of the forks a matt silver to play on the decals and show off the roller cams

You can see the bike here: http://monkeywrenchcycles.com/steve-pot ... prototype/

Not that long, I think it was about 2 months all together.

Blimey just checked in to see how your CCR is coming along - pretty well I see!

I have a similar project, though mine's kind of faux in a way - a Mercian frame with an LD dirt drop stem stem that I've ordered from Joel at Clockwork bikes, I've got the WTB dirt drop bars for it already - I also got that repro cable hanger and a slightly used Blackburn bomber bottle cage. All put together it'll be my fan boy version of a CCR or Ibis :xmas-big-grin:

I have a pair of Ritchey Logic cranks in 175 that I might not use, they're certainly not NOS tho... any use to you?
