Another twenty

[roadrash]

couldnt resist doing another one, @EltonFrog started as a philips twenty, now when I picked this up it had a dark blue frame with flowers painted all over it with enamel paint , imagine someone from the sixties , high on whatever being let loose on it with a paint brush, I forgot to take pics before it went off for powder coating.
Anyhow picked it up from powder coaters earlier today , its orange with white seat , it has new white wall tyres and will have white cables, already made a start ,a lot of the chromed parts have been swapped for parts out of my bitsa box as were to far gone

I like it already

I’ve been known to enjoy an orange bike. Orange looks good on a bike.

I prefer this version myself - looks like it's got an interesting story to tell.
The last time I had a bike resprayed was during my apprenticeship days. The paint sprayer at the factory made me rub the frame right down to bare metal before he'd even entertain the idea, a task I truly hated.
I admire folk who put the time and effort into a decent respray, but it's just not for me.

Are you perchance in competition with the Dawes Blingpin owned by Mr Frog ?
