Bike revision part 2

And now the final and very exciting instalment of Timothy's bike revision. Stripped of all the parts the frame and fork were hung in the shed for the spray-painting.

And after adding 2 layers of (spray) paint, I am reminded of a James Bond movie (..). (Make mental note to wear a respirator/face mask the next time !).

And after a long hot afternoon's worth of work, the result. Notice Timothy's smile.

(And yes, I still have to fix the chain-guard).
Now ... when I have some time, Sophy's bike has to undergo a girly metamorphosis.
