Such a handsome bike.

Perfect looking bike you got there.
-
That's a gorgeous bike.
-
Badass. Saw your bike on T1 post and was curious about the frame treatment process. Sounds similar to gun blueing
-
Looks too nice too ride

I believe that I can fap to this.

Thanks for the nice feedback.
I guess it goes without saying, but the bike also rides great!

Yup, that is 100% correct. It is a gun blueing process. It was a pain in the ass to do... if I ever do it again I'll use a slightly different method that will hopefully be easier.

Way too nice. Report to the 2014 barcode thread

Saw that on T1 facebook page I think...such an awesome bike. Good job on that one!!
-
Good looking rig right there. Not a big fan of the new Tree hubs, but other than that, thing looks super spiffy.
I really like the way that Tempered stem looks. Very simple and nice.
What color is that on the frame?

Very nice.
-
Looks rad! How long did it take you to treat the frame? I've always been curious how it holds up as well.
-
Nice one Jimmy!

Makes me harder than a paedophile at a playground.

It's been treated with this stuff: Birchwood Casey Perma Blue (https://www.birchwoodcasey.com/Refinishing/Metal-Finishing/Perma-Blue®-Gun-Blue-Kit.aspx)

It took me a good few hours to get done as I could only treat a little bit at a time. You're not supposed to leave the stuff on there for more than 30 or 60 seconds so it doesn't give you much time to cover a lot of area.
Not sure how well it holds up since I only just started riding it. But you can always touch it up with some more of the perma blue stuff at any time.
FYI: The frame will still be susceptible to surface rust unless you clear coat it or rub it down with some rust protection stuff.

So good! Great job!
-
I approve of this bike.
Interesting how the stem is machined on the inside of the faceplate.
-
not bad
-
This is a green box getting sonofabitch, right here.
-
How's the clearance with the brakes and the BSD tires?
-
THERE is something really femme about this build I JUST can't get over, i hope you aren't riding with you trousers rolled up.
maybe it´s jusst the lack of pegs
