Cannondale KIller V Project DONE :)

Loving that colour :cool: should look the biz when its finnished ,
glad to hear that the eye is ok ......... trust me its not nuch fun
having only one !! :cry:
 
Well after going to a few paint shops i'm no closser to finding the colour i want :( There are plenty out there, eg motorbike colours but they all seem to come out at a very expensive price :( I like the Ford Focus orange, but i've seen so many bikes get resprayed that colour. I've started to think about maybe either a matt colour or a matalic gun metal grey. On a positive note tho, i've filed the brake cable guides so hydrolic cable can pass through :)

This is how it looks now

A part of me would love to just polish it but, the white components i'm putting on this i don't feel it would look right. I fitted a rear disc and caliper to it today, and found that a 185 rotor runs way too close tried a 160 and that fits fine :)
 
As it goes bud polished and white looks good, I've got a polished Killer V with white tyres I'm building for my father in law, it's the headshok version (which some of you may call a delta V) and I've been looking for a white shock boot. . . anyway it looked that good that I decided to do my '85 SM500 in the same finish.

Glad you bought that frame as I'd have bought it otherwise and I've got 5 already!

Looking forward to seeing what direction you go in.

That's a nice bike bud, definitely not the same one though. Great bikes Killer V's I've had loads of bikes over the years but keep coming back to them.
