My latest project, a Santa Cruz Superlight.

The words 'Work', 'Cut' and 'Out' spring to mind.

... and no, I wasn't responsible for the 'respray' (with BB included).

    Did you get that off retrobike? I was really tempted to buy that, given the daft price!

    Will look excellent with a quick blast and powdercoat. Set of decals and a shock and it'll be stunning.

    that really is a w.i.p. but just think of the satisfaction in riding it once completed!!
    do agree on a strip and powder coat though! Candy blue would look Nice!!

    does that pivot work ok with all that paint on it? I'd have thought the bearing would be ducked, luckily its only a single pivot.

    Its currently away getting shotblasted and powder-coated. Going for a rather unexciting dark grey/black colour scheme.
    The pictures above show the frame with all the bearings and mounting kits removed so when its finished having a new lick of paint all the bearing seats will have to be re-faced and re-tapped. Why someone chose to try a paint job like this themselves is beyond me...
