Re:
We're not all haggis eatin' neep heids around here Velo
Today I changed tyres on my commute bike, back to the Schwalbe City Jets. But as I pumped up the rear the old inner tube exploded with an almighty BANG!!! :shock: once I'd regained my hearing, I found I didn't have a spare Presta valve tube :roll: so out came the drill, and a few minutes later I'd got two rims drilled out for Schraeder tubes, which incidentally I seem to have loads of
Problem solved!

Just my wee joke with Widowmaker, I've met him at two successive Mountain Mayhems. We deliberately miss hear his moniker and call him Windowmaker

Re:
Decals and clear coat on my 1991 Explosif.
Very slow progress as I broke my shoulder a couples of weeks.
A bit of history...during the stripping process I discovered gorgeous brass braze ons...instantly solving the problem of the color scheme (I wasn't a fan of the purple/black...left it as a bare metal with patina rather than aggressively griding it back to polish) the alternate color scheme was going to a deep forest/British racing green.
Will do a full rebuild thread one day...the last time this bike was out was maybe 6 years ago at the retrobike SW ride.
It's pretty much 100% from new full deore DX, only variants from catalog spec being XT thumbies, Flite saddle and I run the Deore DX 1990's wheels fully tubeless with Charge Splashbacks.

Took it back to metal, added a few layers of clear coat allowed those to fully go off, put the decals on and then have applied more clear coat, i'll add a few more coats and then when they have fully hardened off with sart the rebuild.
(this was not all done today! I just did the decals and clear coat finish today...I stripped it down about 5 years ago)
