  2. That is quite cool! Very well done.

  3. Dartweb, that is pretty awesome dude! I remember playing with the Trek framebuilder online tool a couple years back and this is as good as anything (or better), that was available on the custom paint options for mucho $$$. Good job.

  4. Nice work.

  6. I love the airbrushed "trails" around the cable stops.

  7. That's an ace paint job - wanna do my Honda S2000 like that? :p What paint did you use for it and are you sure it isn't going to react with the carbon/epoxy? There'd be an irony if the "pilot" of that ace looking bike took a nose dive and suffered a crash landing... :p

  8. I like it. Thanks for sharing a picture of it.

  9. Carbon damage by paint solvent would be a very minor concern with modern resins.

  10. Great job.

  11. Thanks everyone for the great comments, I used auto paints but i did not sand back to bare base so there will be no problems with reactions in the paint.
    I am not sure about doing an Honda S2000, might be a bit big for me as a project, but i did my Honda vt750 with blue flames and that turned out ok.
    cheers
