Debossed?

Yep, debossed!
This frame was repainted by etoe...

Coral Reef is now resurrected to Painted Desert, here complete:



ETOE did a very nice job!
I have an original Attitude Painted Desert to compare and it comes pretty close.
I think the repaint is a bit more vibrant and shiny.
Also the original dark red is a little more towards purple/aubergine color but I think that is even better than the original!

Gee, looking back to the photo's at the time I got this bike and its current condition I am very happy!

Well, you should be because it looks fantastic!

It's difficult for me to see the exact colors but it seems good from where I'm sitting.

So what's next? So far this looks like an excellent start on a build thread.... ;-)

Did you ever build this back up?

 

[obi-wan-mtb]

Did you ever build this back up?

Oh my, this is 10 years ago!!?!
I did start to build it up, but than pretty quickly I found a nice full rigid Attitude PD and sold this fuselage.
So I actually never finished it

Got this instead though!

At first glance I was thinking this is looking easy, then WOW..... I have always like these bikes and paint jobs, hope you get it done!

OH, never mind, I didn't realized it was an old thread and you moved on. Nice replacement!
