So a Vid of the choice of colours....

I've been mixing colours all day, and before I show the choices I'd like to explain why some colours have been left off the list

Red, although it looked nice in isolation, when offered up against the m'board it just kinda blended in, it was the same with Black. The greens are Ok but just not for this build and I'm not a big fan of purple.

So it was down to the Blues, and The new Lime Yellow

First is the blue. This was mixed from the Ice White Pastel and has a Nice contrast against the tank.

The second one is the Lime Yellow a bit odd, but it's so vibrant and stands out against the red and black, it shouldn't work but does ...

Enough waffling take a look at the short Video,

I think that you'd want something that looks like 2-stroke petrol - the yellow is closer to that.

The yellow has been a complete surprise, It's very likely that I will use it... if anything it will certainly create controversy, so the yellow will have done it's job :D

I picked up the frame from the powder coaters, and I'm well chuffed. The frame has been totally transformed into something really nice... take a look

The job was done by A1 Coatings in Southampton ... dunno if they done me a deal but the job lot cost only £72 ... there's just no way I could have done that at that price and as for the time saving ..
Here's the other bits

I have just removed the tape from the wheels, I will have to wait for the paint/lacquer to harden before finishing the rims..

and finally I couldn't resist having a sneaky look at how the frame colour ties in with the tank unit

I have pressed in the new headstock bearings, over the next few days I'll be getting the chassis sorted ... I'm happy as it's a big milestone getting the frame back :)
 




I've put together the chassis, I managed to find some small Ohlins logo's for the front forks. I do need to replace those allen bolts though....

The rear sprocket has been polished and looks much better with the dull black paint stripped

The Termigoni logo's have been added to the exhaust, and breaks down the Di-noc nicely.
