Well I kind of finished it for now. I want an XT crank for it but I’m not paying more for a crank than I paid for the whole bike so I’ll bide my time. Got the elastomers off @johndeverill and they went it quite easily. Decals were off @gil_m ame no problems with them. I’ll probably swap the tyres, I tried the amber smokes in it and wasn’t struck so I’ll have a look around to see what’s interesting. I’ll maybe add a bit more red I think, I quite like the saddle and my mate hates it so it has to stay.

How pretty the Allien seat post looks in blue. I temporarily put my Allien carbon on but the black one didn't suit it. Fortunately I already found the one I wanted.

Yeah I quite like how they look. I don’t quite like how they adjust though 👎🏻
 
A video! What a good idea
I find it super useful!
I love how you place the decals, Jjjj. I took measurements and then marked with templates the areas where they should go. In the frame and fork...come on, that alone will take you 1 day. Well, I wasn't in a big hurry either, Jjjj.
Where I save time is removing the old decals, I use a stripper (a hot air gun, I don't know the technical name in English). This removes even the toughest adhesives.

Yes, I know what you're saying... I adjusted it with the saddle, I didn't like how it looked and I disassembled the saddle and then put it back together to store it. For now I have had enough for a few months of Allien seatpost.

Yeah I have a hot air gun but by the time I’d found it and got the extension and plugged it in and all that jazz I just thought I’m here now let’s do it. Not the toughest to remove on these are they. No measuring from me, a bit of damage on the downtube determined where the big one was going, and I just eyeballed the others 🙂
