Mutiple splatter paint kona content, page 18/19 for latest builds

Yes it hadn't gone a miss about the frequent build changes nor had it gone unnoticed about your retro bike OCD :facepalm: but yes i'm pleased to see you did the decent thing regards the spec after removing the XT parts and i'm most certainly interested to see this Montana build as i use to love how they looked bitd and it's been a considerable amount of time since i've seen one ..
II parts ..

The Montana has a cool look about it doesn't it,shame they came with weird 1" steerers ie there not 1" more nearly 1" ,they're a swine to find a stem for

OCD kick in again,on the levers and cantilever arm where Shimano is hard stamped i had to make it black so it would stand out more,it was bugging me all night :facepalm:

So it's now officially finished

Yes the Montana certainly does but i never new about the stem being a bit shy of the 1" mark as i never had one or new any one that did but who knows i may just rectify that one day if i live that long :roll: ...

Yes i'm glad to see i'm not the only one to think about colouring the Shimano name stamps! although unlike you i haven't done it yet! :facepalm: so dare i ask how you managed to get such a neat finish and yes it may come across as a little OCD but i think it looks spot on tbh ..

Cool,one place i never look is pinkbike always think it's for more modern bikes.

If it's in Canada i bet Canuck's radar has picked that up.

I wonder if it's been resprayed in its life,the splatter looks to uniform and the Joe Murray writing is a different colour to my two,mines in yellow that one is more reddy/purple. And looking back at photos of my 1990 bikes i had,the Joe Murray lettering on the toptube and headtube is red :?
