You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I have just bought a Geometron G16 frame and some Fox 36’s and built this up with parts off of my old T130RS hence the current rim colour, brakes are Hope V4/E4 with Purple adjusters and Purple Bore caps, Hope Purple Head set, Bottom Bracket and Seat Clamp.
Ultimately it will probably be Hard Anodised satin black but until then I’m undecided what colour to change the frame, fork and wheel stickers to.
I’m looking for other Raw framed bike pics for inspiration and opinions to ignore.
Cheers.



Raw is for lazy people. Get yourself some Autosol and some elbow grease.


I like properly raw (ie. not polished) frames, like my Liteville 301.
Unfortunately I don’t have a photo hosted anywhere that I can post. In my opinion they look better the more aged and used they become.
I’ve also got a black ano. 301 that looks like an old pair of washed-out Levis. It was like that when I bought it and I was originally going to get it powder coated but decided not to be so precious and just left it as it is.
Litevilles (and probably Nicolais) look their best when they’ve lived a bit -have you seen (close-up) what the ones that people like Axel Kreuter and his fellow Vertriders use?

If they make you twitch, that mudguard must make you suicidal :p
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess. 😉
