C'mon Ian you're taking forever As if I've got room to talk 'buyer, but not starter of many projects....one day.

Custom decals look excellent and metal headbadge is a winner for sure.

Can't wait!

Frame back from painter ! Partial re-build and waiting for new rims now ! What do you think

 

[Tel]

Looking lovely! Any pictures of the head badge?

Thats looking really smart, you must be well pleased with how its coming along.
I agree with the above, it would be good to see that headbadge

Tel and Jamie to tell you the truth which i don't mind admitting as we all make mistakes but i don't like head-badge i designed

Thinking of getting it lug lined in gold !

 

[David B]

Looking good so far - seems just the job even without any lug lining, but if you can get it done well by someone with a steady hand, go for it.

Fantastic work there - I think the head badge looks good personally. I'd wait until the bike is fully built up before deciding on the lug-lining. It's nice and simple as it is and lug-lining might look "fussy".

Then again it might look great... :?

Yeh ! something makes me think would there have been lug lining on such a late 80's race bike :shock:
Lug lining is nice for old bikes such as a Mercian or Carlton but maybe not on this Pavone.

Eagerly waiting for Fedex to deliver my rims today

Ian.

Not trying to bore you guys with my thread but decided to put up two pic's of her sat on the new rims

Been given some handlebars complete with drilled holes for the brake cables so i've swapped them now !

*sorry these images are lost forever*

Thanks for looking.

Build the wheels yourself Ian? What are they (sorry if I missed that earlier)?

In all honesty I'm not a great fan of the headbadge, it's okay but I think it's a little fussy.

Still a great looking build though I am as impressed as I thought I would be looks stunning. Needs a rolls saddle for the gold trim

So what's this one for Sunday best or daily hack!?
