Very nice... @incorrigible

Thanks for thinking of me!
I agree; VERY nice.
I'm pulling up a chair to follow this build.

Excellent work - looks great. I must try a 2K primer next time.

Paintjob looks fantastic. Montana is the best.

Any updates on this promising build? That paint looks awesome!

Sadly, no, not yet. My bane is I have too many projects going, and I need to do the challenging work of refinishing the lowers to a Mag 21 SL for this project. But I'm anxious to get going again, because my Bonty build depends on some new lowers, too!

Colour matched fork?

Colour matched fork?

No, I'm trying to replicate the original gold chromed look, which is actually gold tinted clear coat over polished (or chromed) legs. It's a pain, and it's been a process. Check out my Bonty race lite build thread for some details on it. https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/bontrager-race-lite-rebuild-interesting-history.439410/

Very nice. This gives me some inspiration for the Veloce estay frame I have hanging in my garage.

This is going to be great

Love an e-stay frame & the brighter paint the better imo
