Thrown together to ride til winter

Thanks Leon been studyin on what I wanna do.

probably simple and functional this year I wanna do way more riding than wrenching & troubleshooting LOL

Actually have a day off and got up early to get busy on getting my bike ridable. I don't have the
money to redo the front wheel so I had planned on painting it to match my rear wheel until I can
afford the wheels I want.

taped off the ugly rusted spokes and got to sanding. taped everything up and grabbed my paint
gun cleaned it up after a winter storage and opened my can of primer and... yeah its 8 months old dried up and unusable.


I couldn't be deterred and wait another week my manager is off this week so I will work 6
12 hour days not really much time with the hour commute each way. so made a trip to lowes
and bought some trusty spray bomb primer
after several coats and some sanding I was ready for paint

and...of course I only had about 1/4 pint of old paint so off to Autozone and bought some dupli-color auto shop premix lacquer I was chose the lacquer for a few reasons I don't wait well and if I remember correctly lacquer doesn't dry brittle like acrylic enamels and urethanes. so hoping with the flex of the spokes I'll have better adhesion



Several coats of paint sprayed really nice a little meaty but covered well










now what to do with the Rotors they could use a good cleaning and painting This far in guess
I better get busy

looks nice man.
can't wait to see it mounted :evil: .

alot of old euro bikes have the wheels painted like that and i have always thought it looked classy.
