Show me your Jelly Beans

[Dr S]

Hi all,

I'm looking for as many images as possible of Salsa's iconic Jelly Bean paint scheme. Also, does anyone happen to know the paint codes?

I have a rather special frame to get painted over the christmas holidays and really need your help guys.

over to you

thanks
si

Nevadasmith by memory has about the nicest one I've ever seen, think its the early model with the smaller accents of paint too!!

It might be possible to contact Ross Schaffer direct (think that's his name).

Worth a try?

Yes, go to the Soulcraft cycles homepage and contact them. They worked for him at Salsa, and they have a workshop on his farm, so would likely be able to help.

Dr S,

I have e-mailed the owner (current or past) of the Salsa (ex JMC one?) that you are restoring with all of these pics a while ago, not sure if you have seen them.

This is my bike, link to the build thread in my signature below:

Here are the paint details - apologies for the white balance in some of the pics but its the size/shape/distribution of the bushed colour bits that you need to get right really:

Good luck with the resto - I was really enjoying watching the work that you had done to date
