Tim Gould's '93 Newnham Schwinn (homage) FINISHED

Re:

Given that I haven't managed to track down the EXACT Schwinn red, it could be a reasonable question....but NO!

The red on the 4 main triangle tubes should have a"hint" of orange according to Paramount, so I'll basically try and match the red on my original Schwinn jersey.

Re: Re:

Already squeezing the D.O.G.S. a modern Scott Spark and a modern racer in my car, and if I can my RC200 (as my home town is 5 minutes from their HQ), so hardly space for 1 more!

You can take as many as you like. I plan to ride a different bike each lap. With the exception of the night laps

Re: Tim Gould Schwinn homage build

Couple of more bits arrived - unfortunately, not both rims are 32h

Anyone need a NOS black ano 28h Ritchey Vantage rim and have a similar in 32h to swap, or a NOS 28h M900 front hub, to swap for my NOS 32h?

Re: Tim Gould Schwinn homage build

Paint masks arrived in the post today

So I'll be applying these once the frame with the gloss black coat is back from the painters on the 10th.

Apart from a 28h M900 front hub, I pretty much have all the bits.

BOLLOX!

Paint masks were negatives of what I ordered :facepalm:

New ones ordered.

Re: Tim Gould Schwinn homage build

I reckon the painter did a stellar job. Never done a bike frame before, cost €250

I'm well happy with the Schwinn red, after all the umming an aaing.
