Hi Maurice,
thanks for kind words. The paint I did in car paintshop. I chose standard paint then powder coating, even if is more expensive but result is more deep and more traditional. The text on the frame i did myself, vectorizing pictures, then cutting plotter, airbrush and clear coat... Took me two days
Handlebars and saddle i made from old leather jacket.
saddle:
Renovation of vintage Mundialita saddle | Årgangssykler og -deler | [terrengsykkel.no] Arena
to make handlebars you need first to give someone to saw the leather edges then is just nice manual work.
The tip is that the leather should be around 1mm thick and need to be wet then is easier to force it to new shape.
Regards
Thomas
