90 Orange Prestige

I'm not sure why you redrew the Prestige as I think you'd found the exact font. It only looks different due to the curves on the bike.

Have you had the frame done yet?

No not yet, I'm going to get the decals sorted first so I can send them with the frame for the respray. Won't be too long before I can get it sent away.

I haven't redrawn the prestige all I did was convert the text to curves and stretch the individual letters to match the tracing. The font was pretty damn close but just needed stretching to get them spot on. The P especially is stretched in both directions, I'll post a pic later showing the basic font next to the stretched version to show the differences.

Yes, that's the plan

Got the wheels sorted; M730 XT hubs, M231 CD rims and Panaracer Timbuk II tyres. The rims are lightly used so I don't have any worries about ruining a NOS set. Anyway here's a few pic's to be going on with. Going to try and get the decals finished this week with a view to getting the frame sent off next month.

I'm really keen to get this painted and looking like it should too. I've got everything gathered for the build so it should go back together fairly quickly once it's painted. Wanted to make some physical progress so getting the wheels done feels like I've done that and has given me the impetus to get the rest done.

Looking good so far – I'd be itching to get it built and ride it as it is!
