Plan is to take this Marin to Norway. Tomorrow :shock:
Mrsthefish is Norwegian and it will live in a cabin built by her father. We've no car there so bikes will get us to and from the Kiwi shop (better than Spar) for beer, fish pudding (really) and other less critical supplies.
Frame is fairly scuffed up but not too bad. Prior to today I've collected bits for the build and tidied up the frame a tad but have not got round to attaching bits to other bits.
Close inspection reveals that frame has loads of scuffs and scars and has been touched up clumsily. Removal of touch up paint suggests over-application but it has limited rust pretty much to zero
. Wee spots of exposed frame will be covered in black Hammerirte disguised as spatter.
Found some cheap Rockstar forks on ebay. Scabby but seem sound. Rubbed down and painted in black Hammerite followed by white Hammerite then misted with black cos I don't have grey or time to try and match grey paint. Look a decent match from 10 feet. Plan is to splatter paint them in Norway over a Hansa (beer) on a sunny midge free evening (I believe in miracles, where your from etc).
Started building tonight.
