Love the red engine Jim but the disks can't be green (well the hub can be) the outer has to be steel (the paint would burn off after the first 10 miles.

 

[james pithouse]

ok I'll change colour on the hub ken (outer)

Different but very colourful.

As Ian said very colourful although not sure you could get coloured rubber hoses and they would be matt if you could. Definitely different and I like different.

 

[james pithouse]

thanks ken and ian. I thought I would be different, so really if and body want's to build this bike, I thought colour coding would help have you guessed what bike it is yet guys. P.S more up date this might help a bit

up date. This is how board I got, I decided to count how many holes there are on the brakes on the front, when I drilled them out there are 64 holes on each side making 128 in total how sad hey.

You can certainly get coloured silicone hoses for many cars, and they're glossy. Don't know about bikes though I don't see any reason why they shouldn't be available.

That frame looks very familiar but which bike escapes me at the moment.
Great progress Jim.

Nice drilling but rather you than me James.
