I think it is time to update this thread... Some of you might have noticed that "Black Betty" has been turned into the "Rustman" or maybe better "Flakeman"...

Done! (for now...)

Re: The Rustman - photos in the sun Thank you all. The only thing I will change, or better have to change is the rear hub. The SRAM Automatix is just not enough for hilly landscape. I will put my good old SRAM S7 in.

Re: The Rustman - photos in the sun The chain is from KMC and it's actually 2,5 chains. So all in all about 70€. But I'm using it since 2010 and I've ridden it on 4 different bikes.

Re: The Rustman - now with flakes 3-4 layers of clear coat with flakes and 4-5 layers of normal clear coat on the frame. Enough or more?
