I agree. I am too old to work with my son on bike projects, but I get to work on his home renovation tasks. He is also a good learner and very appreciative. PeachyPM keep the projects coming.

I've made a load of measurements from the original paintwork on mine to make sure I get it as per original - just wondered what you did with this frame when you sent it off?
And if you don't mind me asking.......what was the cost? (no worries if you'd rather not divulge such information!) I've got a rough idea off of Bob Jacksons website for the various services for what I think I need done and it totals approx £300 (less delivery charge), just wondered if that was close?

No bother, BJ's are pretty fixed with their pricing, and this bike was just one solid colour with one colour gold lining.
• Enamel £115.00
• Double Box Lining £79.00
I did however get the rear rack, hockey stick chain guard and both mudguards painted at the same time so the bill was a bit more, although I think they gave me a 10% discount as I had another frame being worked on at the same time. Of course if you add panels, lug lining etc it jumps up quite a bit..
As for measurements or positioning, I’m sure Donald would be happy to get a detailed set of measurements, but as for my wife’s bike, I just gave them a blank canvas and asked for traditional but pretty… that’s what I got…
