Not too sure about the art thing, even though this one will be wall art, when it is done. Fully functional, absolutely, but to be ridden lots - nots.

I was lucky enough to find most of the components needed for the bike in my stash of this and that (Milremo handlebar end caps, Carnelli Stem, several sets of Balilla brake sets, most with useable hoods, chrome saddle clamp, transmission, REG brake cable guides, single handlebar mounted water bottle holder, and cloth handlebar tape). And Lady Luck also revealed some Simplex brake cable guides, some Gian Robert bits and pieces(this is what I would use if I had all needed parts for the transmission(, Gaslo alloy end caps and a bunch of other stuff that I will have to find frames to fit to(N+1 in disguise).

Red again? Nope! I really do not like red on my vintage bicycles. Rather, I am going for a powder/baby/pastel blue with an antique white head tube. The lugs, fork and stays socks will be left with exposed polished chrome, which is in really nice shape. And what paint do I hope to use, this time..?

Tremclad Harbour Blue, in a spray can, if I can find it locally...



And, I hope to use Mother Nature's oven to bake the paint. Pictures and description to follow, if the effort is even marginally successful(and it will be).
