Wheeler Aluminum frameset

Now, before the New Eve I have sometime so I will post few bikes that were waiting for this moment last two years.
Once I had a friend, and I told him dude, don't you wanna bike?! He said why would I need a bike. And I said cause it will be easier to drink without driving.
And bike gives you freedom of parking and movement. And I said, I have frame for you, take look very light aluminum frame. He said cool, I will take the frame, and then he took it and disappeared for one year.
I called him once in a while, just see what he is up to. Finally he said, ok, lets do it.
Since then he one of the famous urban riders in Tel-Aviv and well recognized person in every possible night out. He has a style and he has a bike. And its fixie!
He also very well known for famous "КАТАССА" Tuesday events.

Another year went for getting the pictures of the bike). BTW, all the photos in the posts belongs to him)

Masi frame

It took me a while, but recently I have collected the photos in one place, and therefore can post about Masi frameset creation that I have made two years ago.
I had this Masi frame for almost year and half laying in my storage with no interest. But as they say there is a rider for each frame. My friend decided that he wants a cool bike riding fast enjoying Italian aluminum masterpiece. And I have decided that I will give it a try for my old dream to paint the frame all by myself. So I did. And then went to repaint in powder coating and made a strong conclusion that you cannot paint a frame good without proper equipment and dedicated place, period.
This bike is running already two years covering dozens of kilometers and still attracting people glances.

The process of color removing, and repaint is below in pictures.

The final product and the happy owner.
