Sneak peak of the Gitane Grand sport DeLuxe



FRESH from powder coating..

Metallic green with Metallic pink Clear...

Holy moly! I've been a bit of a curmudgeon about powder coating in general but that doesn't look too shabby at all! Maybe I'm gonna have to change my mind. I'll bet that looks fantastic from a few feet away... and up close like that it kinda reminds me of those sparkly carnival car rides from when I was young. Can't wait to see the whole thing and I hope you're able to peel the strips of carpet off the bottom of the stays .

Well, there goes my resolution to try to not acquire too many more bikes.

That's a very nice green...

East Hill

When I see that I think George Barris.

Of course, in that color it would not be the Batmobile but something the Joker or Riddler would ride.

I was thinking the coin-operated kiddie rides in front of the grocery store...

HAHA!! It was supposed to be purple BUT they messed it up the first time because the guy went powder crazy and laid it to thick. I am much happier with the green. I didnt know what it would look like cause the person that did the powder never mixed those two colors before. Hopefully i can get all the parts before spring comes around. I just need a 1" english thread carbon fork so i put a CK headset.....

Very very very very nice metalflake!

I'm thinking bass boat.

I think the bass boat look is just because of the extreme closeup. I think in person it probably looks a lot tamer. I'm impressed that it doesn't have that overly thick look that so many powder jobs do.

glad i didnt keep it purple...

Update!

Where?

HERE! haha

So I'm guessing you're building this up fixed?
