Square Wheels Posted September 5, 2014 Share #3 Posted September 5, 2014 I do like that color. How did you paint it? If I ever get bored with my bike I'll buy some new components and paint it an unusual color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I ever get bored with my bike I'll buy some new components and paint it an unusual color. It's a rattle can job, but it came out nice. I made a couple of decal and then clear coated the whole thing after applying them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Posted September 5, 2014 Share #10 Posted September 5, 2014 I've painted bikes with rattle cans, too. If you can hang them up to dry somewhere that bugs and dust won't get stuck in the paint you can get a pretty good paint job that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UglyBob Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share #12 Posted September 5, 2014 I like the skull decal. I thought it was a cool image. I wanted to keep this one simple, so I only made and applied the two decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UglyBob Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share #13 Posted September 5, 2014 Looks great, Bob.. and glad it rides great. Rides like a rocket... only problem is the motor! This one is about half a pound lighter than the Fuji Team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a durable paint job, you are better off with a 2 part paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smoke keeps the mosquitoes away and the roof of the smoke house keeps the leaves out of it. the heat just helps cure the paint...and the deer jerky 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UglyBob Posted June 23, 2021 Author Share #30 Posted June 23, 2021 1 minute ago, Randomguy said: The suspense is killing me! Ok, you've waited long enough. I had a friend who was looking for a frame supplier for the house label bike for his shop. He a batch of samples from a dealer in Taiwan and wanted me to build one up to get my opinion on the ride and overall quality. I'm all about getting a free carbon frame, so I jumped at the chance. I painted it up, made some decals, and built it up with a SRAM Rival group and put my American classic wheels on it. The bike came in at just under 17lbs and rode like a dream, so it became my primary bike. At the time, @Parr8hedwas looking for an upgrade from his Nashbar aluminum frame, so I traded him my Fuji Team carbon frame for it. Happy now? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, that is a hell of a trade for P8! I had a Fuji Team carbon as a backup (with the weird big surface weave) that I sold to a boss's dad in probably in 2010 or so. What did you do with the aluminum frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have the Nashbar frame hanging up in the garage. I have a 105 group I can hang on it if someone else is in need. I did like the look of the big weave, but I like the ride and the geometry of the new frame better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UglyBob Posted June 23, 2021 Author Share #34 Posted June 23, 2021 BTW, I still have this bike. Different wheels on it right now. I put on the Open Pros that I built on DA7400 hubs because at my current weight I'd crush the CR420s. These wheels are pretty much bullet proof. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The yellow one is a 1991 Paramount built in Waterford. I put it together with NOS 105-SC parts I managed to scrape up.
