dilemma

just received some brand new decals from race face with the help of the fellow retrobiker klasse. Stripped the cranks and sanded. Don't know if I should paint them red again. As you can see shes already bare aluminum, so its a little bit a shiny combo.. suggestions ? : )

Painted the Turbines again, fitted some 9 speed chainrings and a Sigma 1009 STS and went for a ride

great job on the paintjob,it looks pro! very nice zaskar. cant help but think it would look great with the cranks painted black and a black saddle also...

received today some Kore Elite skewers from stevetait. Failed to get the red anodized ones, so I sanded and painted the engraved in red.
It looks a little bit fade but its in the same red as the race face cranks.

Great build, I'm inspired!

Struggling to find any of those SID, in the last few weeks of looking I haven't spotted any.

My frame ( stamped '97) has an integrated seat clamp. Haven't found anything neat to fit there...

Enjoy your bike,
