Hey, loving the bike mate. I'm building a hustler for my other half....she likes kawasakis and the green and white styling so watch this space I guess.
Nice airbrushing, really pulled off the era flames.

rustyone said on 4 September 2008
When i first saw this bike i wasn't sure - but after looking at your close up pics its grown on me. One bit i think lets it down is the brown saddle 10/10 otherwise
ginjafro replied... on 5 September 2008
Hey rustyone,glad its grown on you. As for the saddle I had considered an SDG in leopard skin (but tend to get soggy when wet) and someone else suggested they would prefer white. I chose the Charge in brown 'cause I felt it lent itself to a retro look and they are a great saddle for less than £20.

well done u successfully ruined a nice frame
at least all the 13yr kids on this site will love it
feel free to hate my bike
jay12 replied... on 8 August 2009
well said ginjafro. swifty15uk you should seriously shut up
ginjafro replied... on 31 August 2008
Swifty Suk, don't understand why I've "ruined a nice frame". Its only paint and makes no difference to the ride quality and as for all the 13 year olds out there we should encourage them, not insult them with your kind of banality. I shalln't bother to rate your ride because plenty of others already think its pretty dull and boring, perhaps a reflection of its owner?

I am most definately impressed!
I don't give many 10's out but this one deserves it..
damn good job on the flames!!
I reckon a white saddle and grips would finish it for me..
I'd be scared to ride it in case of scratches!
ginjafro replied... on 27 August 2008
Thanks for the comments. White saddle & grips would be
UBER PIMP ! I had considered an SDG leopard print saddle but unfortunately they are not renowned for being waterproof.

konastinky888 replied... on 16 August 2008
good job. looks well good.
ginjafro replied... on 16 August 2008
Ta very much!
To paint the flames I bought a Badger Airbrush of E-Bay and learnt how to use it, before I went anywhere near my frame. I wanted some classic retro rock & roll flames like you see on those 50s American Hot Rods, so Googled a selection and based my design on them. Then the scary bit! You have to prep the frame first, remove stickers then scotchpad or very fine wet'n'dry the base paint, the works. Then I used a white chinagraph pen to draw the flames onto the frame. After that you need some very narrow scotch tape to mask all those tight curves and then standard masking tape & newspaper to cover all the other bits of frame to prevent overspray. Once that is all done a bit of primer is essential then you can go to town airbrushing the various layers and colours required, easy...., yeah right! It took a while and some tense moments but worth it in the end.

Well, yes it is my bike and I love it! I spent 9 months building and pimping it. It rides as good as it looks which is after all what its really for. I did all the art work myself and called in a few favours for the repro' of font & badge and a big "Thankyou" to Tony who professionally lacquered it.
