SR Sakae Litage

[gridno27]

Looking Good . Did you put the decals on yourself? I've got a decal-less Litage frame in the garage.....

I got the same with a ton of dark blue coulour on it - ok I paid a small pocket money for. After sandblasting and priming the aluminum tubes, I have to grind and polish the aluminum lugs - a job for cold, long, dark winter days ... after that I intend to paint them gunmetal color.

I got the decals set from the Australian. Greg has it in his files http://www.cyclomondo.net https://www.cyclomondo.net/japan?lightb ... -kbnb3wc23



Edith: .. there is a way to get a pair of these jewel-like blue inserts on the back

. in the meantime the polishing of the lug, fallouts and brake and forkbridges have been finished (...see the attached pics) and now I am looking for a most authentic coulouring for this beauty




In origin these SAKAE Litage framesets out of aluminum tubes are anodized - but refer to the temperature and the "bonded-frame principle" it will be not possible to anodize. So I am looking for a similar looking paint like gunmetal grey or ice-blue or rose-gold

What do you think ... and/or recommendend, i.e. which coulouring was available within the catalogue (...pic from an origin)

Looks like a nice collection you’ve got there in your man cave
