Hi All,
I managed to pick this 1994 San Andreas up purely by chance from Saltyman last year when he had it up for sale. Had no idea what to do with it or what I’d want the bike to end up like but absolutely over the moon at getting hold of a San An, one of several bikes I'd drooled over as a younster. Anyway, the day it arrived:
A little bit of interwebbing later and found this rather interesting San Andreas which sparked off some inspiration:
Now, again by chance a mate of mine has a full Spectrachroming (a chrome paint rather than actual chroming) business and so a plan was hatched and the frame whisked away for some attention.
In the meantime Gil_m made some new decals:
And after a few months wait between other jobs, finally got a few pics back from the spray booth:
Frame in undercoat, Chrome base coat & finally in Chrome:
Swingarm also in undercoat, Chrome base coat & finally in Chrome:
And a shot of the frame, swingarm & seatpost-holder-thingy lol:
Should be getting it back finished next week and then the building can begin!
Cheers.
