First shot of the painted frame, not great as it's been done on a cell phone but you get an idea of colour, it's House Of Kolor Fireball Red Metal Flake (and "well sparkly" according to John the sprayer) will be picking it up on 29th of may as John is at Kelso. Many thanks to Kev for the number.

picked the frame up today, wasn't sure what to expect as it's hard to decide from small colour chips what may look nice, ive always like that metallic red wine colour and wanted something like that. I thought the small frame may look a bit odd in a real retro colour like the ones i like, i love the duck egg blue colours and mint greens etc but they look better on lardys. I thought a nice old school cherry with whitewalls and the cream seat etc may look nice. So decided to go with a cherry red colour in metal flake, and was bloody stunned when i picked it up, the guy is a genius...!!! (many thanks Kev Vespasuper) These photos don't do the work or the effect justice, but im pretty damn happy with it.

Kev, yeah im well pleased, many thanks for the advice, stunned when i saw it as it was exactly what i wanted, but when you get it out in the sun, jesus...!!! that flake is amazing, and John just spent loads of time doing stuff i never even asked, he sorted the struts and some work that needed doing underneath, and hammeriting everything that would be exposed, like the underneath of the front mudguard etc (which i asked him to deseam thinking he would just skim, but hes cut it and welded it), just a lot of time and thought, and the paint and lacquer is so bloody thick too, just like you said, im scared to touch it though ha ha

throttle cable thicko question of the day..............., think i may have put this in back to front, there is a pure cable end that a solderless nipple goes on, and the other end has like a small grey stop on (photos later when i can be arsed) which way around do they go, I ran it so the solderless nipple goes at the handle bar end as I thought you adjusted the cable from there, and the stop thingy goes to the carb...? there again i could have the wrong freaking cable too...!!!
