This bike is gorgeous. It has inspired me to maybe do something similar with a UO-8 frame that I just acquired.

You said that it is hand-painted. What exactly do you mean? Did you sand it down and use spray paint? Or do you have a compressor? I am curious as to how this was done, if you have time to respond.

Thanks! I sanded everything

Submitted by calculator on 10/22/2008.

Thanks!

I sanded everything down (bloody nightmare) and then used sign-painters paint. After I covered the whole shibang with clearcoat. Very low budget and very unpro. BUT. People seem to think it turned out well. It's going on 4 years now and, other than city riding scuffs and scratches, the paint still looks pretty good. There ya have it, for what it's worth!

Lovely Build! Just curious

Submitted by sopake on 09/02/2007.

Lovely Build! Just curious as to whether the Dura-ace hubs track hubs. Did you have many issues with hub-spacing and chainline?

Absolutely beautiful build. Looking for a frame to start one for my gal as well. May I ask, where can one find brake levers like those vintage touring? Happy riding!

Thanks, she loves it. Just

Submitted by calculator on 06/29/2006.

Thanks, she loves it. Just do a search for "touring levers" on ebay they should pop up. They're kinda crappy however as they're not spring loaded. I've been looking around for something to replace them but my search has been fruitless.

Try Shimano R440 levers.

Submitted by hollumns on 10/29/2006.

Try Shimano R440 levers. Nice, brushed metal finish and good action. They have them for less than at universalcycles.com.

I especially love how the mavic's, mks's, and white selle are really nice modern bike parts but they seem like they could have come stock on this bike.
