Further Impossibility

If you read the comments on the original post about this bike, you know that David decided to take the conversion a bit further. It got gloss black powder coat, v-brakes and levers.

The pictures don't do the finish justice. The surfaces of the tubes actually look wet. I think it has a strong vintage "Pashley GUV'NOR" vibe to it (for a small fraction of the cost of a Pashley!)

You may notice that the True Temper Tubing decal is still there. I very carefully peeled it from the tube before taking the frame to the powdercoater, and then reapplied it with contact cement. I really just thought it was too cool to lose.

All it needs now, in my opinion, is a black Brooks saddle to finish off the classic/vintage look.
