hi ya

been years since i was in to bikes :oops: , but late last year i found running my dog next to a bike made it easyer to tyir him out 8) as walking him takes hours (coli x cocker spainual)
so my mate gave me a bike and its started from there the bike i was using was old and needed sorting out so last week i picked up a full sus bike and when its raining i have been sorting it out think i have got a bit carryed away but here are some pics

looked like this when i got it



then it rained so i got it ready for painting also took the front forks apart and sorted them out (i think you guys call it servicing them)


with 3 coats of primer and 2 of paint (have added onther 3 coats since picture) it looks like this



dog in the back ground asleep the bike is sort of for

that is my progress so far i also have 2 other bikes i will be sorting out after this one gives me some thing to do on wet days when i can't work on my cars and the bigest thing is keeps me off ebay

i'll stop boring you all now sorry for the bad spelling

:oops:

I deduce from this thread that you are;

A. Single
B. Gay and your partner is into bikes
C. Your wife/ girlfiend is away

Nice paint job by the way, should've done your tumble drier at the same time

I'm off to show the mrs your photo's and insist that all bike maintenance MUST be done indoors from now on!

Wish I could work inside like that

not gay, have girl friend, not under the thumb, my house,

is what the pictures say

i did spray the bits out side but brought them in to dry in front of the heater 8)
i lurnt if you spray inside it covers things in a fin mist took me age4s last time to clean that mistake up

just been doing the front brake caliper as forks are black i was going to do a small bit of it yellow :? hope it turns out ok
