Bit of a change with the frame layout-
getting rid of the one huge logo on the downtube, and i'm gonna use more of the off-white colour that i've bought, to break it up a bit. Might be doing the front half's logos in black, but i'm split between that and blue. inside of the fork will be pink or black, and then the inside of the seatstays will be blue.

All great lads, had parts/frames off them and everything went super smooth.

5 minute mock up of how things will roughly sit (the dbad logo and the 'designed in gb' will either go on the outside of the chainstays or the inside like how Hulsroy's frame has it, I haven't decided yet)
blue/pink, peach(?) was the original thinking for it, but i'm going to throw a can of white in there to break it up better. also did pink/blue just to see how it looks

After selling the Genesis Day One that I had a while ago- I came to the realization that I didn't have a 'winter bike' as such. I have two other 'track' frames that aren't drilled for brakes, and I wouldn't exactly want to ride either of them in winter too. This Charge Plug 1 popped up a week back from @Josh and I thought it'd be the perfect base to build something decent for winter with it's clearances for big tyres and the fact I could also run brakes. Oh, and I thought considering DBAD is all in right now that i'd see what the fuss is about :)
Also, before I collected it- I'd already decided I wanted to re-do the graphics and the paint on the frame as I've always found Charge's frame branding/liveries to be quite bland and boring. Ordered me up some MTN 94 in both 'Tutti Frutti' and 'Hydra Blue' for the respray, and also got to work on designing up some new graphics (nothing special, just something minimalist).

Thank you! I need to wait until my 100mm lens comes in so i can show it off better with the whole bike in frame.
NDS is a lot better looking than the drive side in my opinion, splatter is hard to mirror!
My best friend is a tattoo artist and a graphic designer, I couldn't have him riding about on a plain looking bike, he'd have did this to it himself otherwise! :)

Fair enough, I'm just throwing ideas around at the moment!
I'd obviously do all of the breaks/stripes perfectly straight- I just couldn't be arsed to make them straight for the mock up, haha.
More like this then?
