So after many months of raging at the fact that so many other people have my design of bike, I have decided to respray the frame. This will involve taking the whole bike apart (except the bottom bracket which no amount of exertion will loosen), stripping the current generic, off-the-rack paint job, priming, respraying and finally putting everything back together.
Tomorrow I am going to go and buy the spray, the colour of which I have decided will be a moderate shade of purple. Upon return I am going to strip the bike down, including removing the forks (the thought of which terrifies me), then remove the current paint job using nitromors (which I also need to buy). Once the paint is removed I will apply the primer in preparation for the respray proper in a couple of days.
During this whole undertaking which I hope to have complete by friday, I will update my progress here regularly, including copious pictures of the inevitable fuck ups and tears. I hope you enjoy.
