I've always wanted a pearl black myself....

Welcome back Dr. D! You've been missed! :)

I wanna stealth fighter black, the stuff that reflects radar, or NanoBlack, the stuff that reflects only .3% of lights shinned on it (blacker than pitched black!) and ride it at night. :D

Dr. D. lookin as crazy as ever! Stay focused and finish that baby! The home stretch is in sight.

Dr. Deltron-

Where have you been?

Eric

Yay, another one in the lineup is heading for completion :) .

Hey, Dr. D

Glad to see you're back on the 'net!

Welcome back Dr. D!

What a nice job. But not as nice as this guy:

Black is definitely the new black.

Looking good. Gold stripes on black.... just can't help but think of Smokey and The Bandit. :D

My Bianchi is factory pearl black. One of my riding buddies of over a year looked at my bike 1/2 way through a century and said, "Cool... it's Pearl" I guess we do ride a lot at night :roflmao2:

Dr D. that paint looks absolutely dripping wet, and deep enough to dive in.
and yes, welcome back. .

Breaker 1-9, breaker 1-9...Deltron Doctor, are you out there boy?

Take care,

How much more black could it be? The answer is none. None more black.



(I'm surprised no one has quoted this yet.)

I see a red door, and I want it painted black.
No colors anymore -- I want them to turn black.

I'm all about black these days:

I already bought a black Brooks Pro and ekhide bar cover for the black Peugeot, but now I'm thinking that brown might look better. Any opinions?

Dr. Deltron just called to ask if I wanted him to put gold around the seat lug and bottom bracket. It originally had gold around the head lugs only. I told him to go ahead and do it all. It's not going to look original anyway. I don't think they ever made a black '74.

Did they ever make a black PX-10 at all? I think only white, grey, and blue (and then only for a few years). Educate me, if I'm wrong. Looks good, though!

No black fenders? :eek:

I think it was Miami Jim that told me that there were several colors that could be ordered, including yellow and red, but black only appears on the european order form.

I'll call mine the european version with the optional extra gold striping and clear coat. Who'll know?

I'm working on that. I stopped by Velo Orange in Annapolis today and picked up some VO fluted fenders, a Brooks B17 and some other blingy stuff to get started on this project.

I like the idea of dark brown saddle, bar tape and cable housing.

The Dr. likes to gold leaf around the BB and seattube top! :D Tell him :thumb:!!!

Antique brown is the color I have in mind for the Brooks. I prefer the B17 to the pro, but I don't want copper rails. That means I will have to spend $300 on the titanium-railed Champion Special. I guess I'll be putting some parts on eBay.

Not gold leaf, just gold pin striping paint. I think he uses One Shot. I told him that I want very narrow striping.

This time around I used something called Liquid-Leaf in Classic Gold tone.
:roflmao2:
And upon attempting this, I come to find that my eyes don't focus AT ALL, at that close range anymore.:(

...so Murphy dictated that this all came together late at night in a dark shop, doing naaarrow gold lines with liquid gold on a gloss black frame.:eek:

. . less than stellar is all I can say. (sorry DirtDrop..I'm going to call you.)

but from a distance, it's pretty black & chrome!:D

(my <100k's; before, during and now)

Oops..didn't have the jpegs on the other disk.

I could lie, & say one of my 5 year olds did this!:lol:

or maybe they SHOULD have done those lines!:innocent:

:cry:

Brian Bayliss I'm not.

Mark,

You continously outdo yourself and as always, remain a wee bit hard on yourself. Blackie the Peugeot looks superb!

I've been waiting for nice weather to take a good outdoor shot of Sporty. When I do I'llsend you a real copy, not just some email version. And for some reason Mrs. PB wants to call it "Sparky" (I believe she feels it is more sparkly than sporty)!

Are you kidding? All the more authentic to replicating an original factory job! :roflmao:

Sorry - couldn't resist poking fun at Peugeots, as usual.

-Kurt

Beautiful Doc....

I've got his one permenantly etched in my bike lust lobe:

Actually, the factory striping on the end caps was so perfect that it couldn't possibly have been done by hand. I told Mark that he should repaint the caps black and blend the clear. I think he's going to try to fix the striping, but I don't think that will work.
