I put on the first clear coat this morning and had to shoot some pics since the day greeted us with sunshine.

Kevins frame has been primed and the silver applied.  Laying out the logo masks here.
 The Road House Blue for the logo has been sprayed.

Here's the base coat for the final finish, Deep Impact Blue Pearl.  Absolutely a stunning color and the most expensive I have ever purchased.
Kevins frame is finished and of to be glass bead blasted.
It's back from blast, so time to paint!

 Kevin wanted a permanent tail light mount, so I came up with this one I made out of 10 mm 4130 tubing and a metric acorn nut.  I felt it had to have a little elegance, so put a curve in it.  Now that i know it works, I will finish it cosmetically.

"Kyle" is finished and from all the feed back from all the folks that pass through the garage, it is by far the most popular paint job.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Brazing on the fender brace eyelets on Kevins frame.
 A few shots of the paint progress on Farr Frameworks " Kyle" frame set.

 Craigs coupled cross frame is done.  All Llewellyn lugs and dropouts with True Temper and Columbus tubes.
 I really like the bend in the seat stays.
 Paragon stainless brake bosses and cable stop.


 And, of course the paragon cable adjusters.
 Polished dropouts and a little paint flourish to tie in with the frame.



 This is an accurate representation of the colors.
And Kevins rain  frame is moving along nicely.  The seat stays are on and ready to braze on the fender bridges.
 Plenty of room for the 28 mm tire and fender.
The chain stay bridge shot with macro just for fun.
