Viscount Aerospace road bike viscountaerospaceroadbike.blogspot.com/This may be redundant, it may be someone here even so spare me the embarrassment. Generally, I don't care for blogs that have one post though there are a number of photos here and I thought it was worth posting because of the leather wraps on this project bike. Must be someone here:  |

I recall this blog. But pretty sure it isn't anyone here though.
I think the leather works really well with that frame colour, and the bell is well chosen. This is someone with a very keen designer's eye I'd wager.
Perhaps he picked that colour so that it blended in with the kitchen cabinets and his wife might not see it? I know my red Aerospace Sport doesn't stay in the dinning room long before my wife wants it back in the shed. Now, maybe if I could find that RAL code for 'Sport red' I'd be able to camouflage it by painting the room the same colour?

What is interesting is that he says he allowed the paint to dry for 4 weeks. The paint job definitely looks good whether one is a particular fan of that colour; 'cream' I'd sort of say.

He credits Cusqueno's blog as inspiration, maybe got in touch with him as well? I agree the paintjob looks great. Perhaps he was sponsored by Brooks... b

Yes. This blog viscount-lambert-bikes.blogspot.com/ is mine. Since this forum was set up, it's been easier to post occasional ramblings here rather than on the blog. But I'll probably get around to posting there again. Some time. |
