MMBO #5 is complete, this bike has been patiently waiting in the background. Getting a little work here and there.
The gold anodize was shot, this must have been a real racer cause it was beat to heck, but most of the parts were there.
Stripping anodize, there's no good way, but it's done.
This was the first paintjob, black base, red flake blue pearl, with purple and pink pearl. Unfortunately I had a large sag in the top tube, when it was sanded out I blew thru all the metallic.
Reshot it with more purple and pink pearl, lost the base coat color, but it does flash in the sun.
This will eventually be for my daughters when they're tall enough for a 21" top tube. I'll ride it until then. if they don't want it, it'll get shot black in a few years.
