Bet this will look amazing when you have finished Ben. Following with interest...
Yeah. The Langlow Strip away pro came from recommendation here. Done 3 frame and forks from that tin so far! - works like Nitromors used to before they took out the active ingredient!Fascinating - that stuff works damn well!
This is the first time I've seen a Dynatech bonded frame of any type stripped bare! al the detail is there too see! Really impressive frame!
Looking forward to this!

Hello.
Been a while since I've been on RB... Came here to tell you how much I love your Dolomite. It's sensational and also deserved BOTM. While here I have also fallen for your Dynatech - another awesome build! Thanks.
Looking really good so far!!So. After a bit more prep rubbing back and recoating the primer, the first colour is ready to go on. The forks have been rubbed back and primed to but a little more work needed on these.
The purple Mica on the main tubes was colour matched by the paintstore in Leamington Spa from the frame before it was stripped.
I'd left the frame with them for a week or so and they used their colour match tech to get an exact match.
The paint looks very 'Cadbury's chocolate' at the moment but rest assured, I've done a test piece and lacquered it. It really comes alive when the clearcoat goes on and the metallic 'pops'
Back to work so this will rest for the week before masking up and going on with the pink Mica.
Here's where I'm at so far..
