Finally got my hands on one a 14” msisle. God knows what year but I have always wanted one so when I came to build up a dj bike after all these years I hunted one down.

I was going to keep it red but I can’t help myself an orange needs to be orange so having a go at dna aerosols candy orange when the cans arrive.

In the mean time all the ugly parts have been removed or moved. Cables guides have been removed to be welded back on under the top tube and seat stays. Front derailleur guide and rim brake bosses were removed.

That’s all for now got plenty of parts incoming. Mostly just me being a hope whore though.

What’s the serial number. Usually tells you.
I reckon 03/04.
The guides on the top always were a boner killer.
Looking forward to seeing her finished.

It’s 246901 so I’m guessing 2001 going off their other serial number systems.

Primed her during the week and minimal wet sand. Paint day today. 3 coats of metallic silver base. Got 2.5 coats of candy orange on before I ran out stupid me so I’ll need to order more and finish this week and top it off with a 2k gloss clear.

These dna aerosol cans are insane though. The quality and finish is just as good as a gun!

First of the parts rolled in this week
32 talas with a straight steerer and 15qr
Hope wheels
New orange badge and decals
Had planned to go single speed but I’m weak and decided to go whole hog on her so got a set of x01 7sp on the way along with a few other goodies

DNA cans are the jam! I used their silver flake with candy over the top, came out so bloody good! Who did you get your decals through?

Indibike out of the uk I got custom decals for my five from them and even if they don’t have what you want they’ll custom do shit.

Yeah really impressed with the paint going to be hard not to do it on my five now haha

Decals on. Got it out in the sun and she’s shiny. Very happy with how it turned out.

Don’t think I could colour match the decals to the forks better if I actually tried to do that.

Sold my wife’s unused bike so now I can spend on parts to finish it.

Finally getting the last of the parts. Just waiting on a few more orders

Despite the old bb coming out fine the threads were toast so off to the bike shop to get redone. Came back sweet.

Ordered 2.35 ikons because I couldn’t find enough 2.2 but the 2.35 were mm away from rubbing on the stays so had to hunt down a 2.2.

Bars and stem are just temps I had laying around until new ones come and the brakes will be hope e4s off my squishy once the new tech 4s come for that.

Besides that it’s pretty much done.

Rescue your old bikes! They still rock
