duane Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Hi, My bike and helment have just become victims of my new airbush, nothing too serious just a quick skull and a gold pinstripe flame long the top tube. Both graphics were pre cut vinyl masks from a radio controlled car shop spayed with a mix of Tamiya Acrylics.See what you think, http://83.170.72.216/~trials/gallery/11476...27_34_38210.jpghttp://83.170.72.216/~trials/gallery/11476...27_34_29820.jpg Regards Duane.

duane Posted May 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Hi, I deliberatley didn't take a picture of the whole bike because I hate the saddle, it came with a union jack saddle which would be bad enough if i was actually living in the UK.I though the graphics looked better before i removed all the masking here - http://83.170.72.216/~trials/gallery/11476...27_34_77936.jpgAs I didn't prepare the factory finish first, the graphics will wear off fairly quick, then I will have a proper go at something a bit more ambitious with fades or some 'real fire' see here -http://www.airbrush.com/how-to-guide.aspx?...wtoDetail&id=33I got the red base from Bike Dock, they did a fine job taking my order from Dubai and shipping the bike out to me with no hassle at all, they don't have a picture of the red bike up at the moment and its dark here so I wont be able to take one till tomorrow,Regards Duane.

Krisboats Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Jon its exactly the same colour as mine, they just always look a different shade in every picture you take.I like the bike spray job by the way... not too keen of the skull though.

And thats why he got it in that shade of red.Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 didn't like the helmet design as much but the frame looks pimp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duane Posted May 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Hi, I hope the frame is an 05/06, I bought it a few months ago. I haven't been in to trials long, but from what I have seen the earliest Base 26 looks like this http://img94.exs.cx/img94/2528/Picture757.jpg then there are models you have which have a top tube which flares towards the head tube, and has the darker red finish like this http://bikes4trials.com/smsimg/17/148p1010087.psd.jpgThen there is mine which has a constant profile along the top tube which you can see in my previous pictures and here http://www.bikedock.com/posit/images/products/0000012576.jpg Mine is 'Gloss Red' I think the others were some other colourDuane.

Krisboats Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 You got it I had the flared hedtube one which is the same that krisboats had.RobI still have it Yeah the blue one is an 03 one, mine is an 05 one and the one you got is the 06 one.... Gutted about the paint job, metallic red beats gloss red anyday . Still love your flame though.. looks ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
