Gone Riding: A Celebration of Cycling Culture and Lifestyle

I had lot of fun with the paint on this ornately lugged frame. The head tube is a lighter shade of the main metallic purple that was mixed with a clear base and sprayed over white. Lug lining is a funny thing in the bicycle world. It has a long history and it is seen as antiquated because, well, lugs are seen as antiquated. I still have a soft spot in my heart for it. The Silca pump was machined and painted to match. Looking forward to building this one up once the rack and stem are back from the plater! Unrelated but I wish all my bike world friends the best of luck at @made.bike this weekend in Portland, OR. If you’re anywhere near there (I am 3000 miles away unfortunately), I highly recommend checking it out! #lugsnotdrugs #lugs #bicyclepainting #chapmancycles
