These aren't great shots, but gonna stop here and clear coat soon. It's almost ready to be a real bike again. Before pics at the end of the slides

It’s a byoot Clark!
Big fan of whatever this is. Would love to get some insight on the process you’re using!
Holy shit that’s cool. Where are the process shots? I can’t see your post history.
That looks amazing.
Wow looks great!! How did you achieve this effect?
Been wanting to do something like this with an old shogun frame I got. Definitely coming back to see how you did this.
Heavy.
Is that patina or the original paint? Either way looks awesome. Ive got a bianchi in that color and its tempting
Statue of liberty build
skyrim dwermer tech ahh bice 😭😭
Dang. Looks like Monet! Good Lord that’s beautiful.
Wow, it looks a lot like oxidized copper pipes in a basement!
Just seen a Purple Ibex for $40 this week. But someone beat me to it…
Inspiring!
This guy did something similar with 1985 Bridgestone MB-2 and shows the whole process.

This is a masterpiece!! I have a frame waiting just for something like this though I doubt I’ll come close.

This is beautiful. I love the teal/verdigris colours of oxidised copper. One of my favourite subs is r/copper
There’s a metal plating business in my city that offers services such as copper plating. They specifically say they can do bike frames. I’m hoping in a few years when I’ve got more money for hobbies I’ll get an old steel frame plated and let it oxidise to create a ratty scorcher
I love seeing work like this. Looks amazing! Better than bikeporn!
OP are you concerned about the bare metal parts of the frame rusting under the clear coat or will it be a design feature?
I loike this
Wow
Hot damn that finish is amazing. I read your process comment, inspiring stuff.
It reminds me of the Astana kits haha. Definitely wear that one when you go out for a ride. It matches!
Nice “shipwrecked” vibe. Can’t wait to see the finished product
This is crazy cool. Big props to you! 🤙
Head’s up, most clear coats don’t seal the frame and rust will probably happen

Super mega epic
