[RBW] Re: Finally...Bridgestone transformed into a Resurrectio
Awesome Resurrectio, Addison! (And IMO there's no such thing as 'hopeless outdated'... only 'timeless'... :) I love the Resurrectio / Phoenix decals ... one of these days I will use these on one of my projects... problem is I seem to have too many StumpJumper or Mongoose ATB projects, where I either don't want to lose the name, or I feel compelled to make up my own derivative of Mongoose (e.g. Mongo Rando, RetroMongo, or this one, PBongoMongo)... I do have an awesome Schwinn Cimarron that probably could use a good powdercoating and a nice set of Resurrectio decals...

Bobby, if you get tired of any of those old MTB projects send them my way.

Yes, I couldn't be more pleased with the job they did on the paint with decals and clear coat. David from Groodbros even followed up with me yesterday to make sure I was happy.

Re: [RBW] Re: Finally...Bridgestone transformed into a Resurrectio
It's a powder coat with a clear coat over the decals. The powder/color I chose was already a pretty glossy choice but the clear over it gives it some extra pop. Thanks.

Re: [RBW] Re: Finally...Bridgestone transformed into a Resurrectio
I thought it was powdercoat, but your blog post mentions paint. Just wanted the Groody Bros. to get their due accolades for glossy, liquid-looking powdercoat, is all.

[RBW] Re: Finally...Bridgestone transformed into a Resurrectio
I always liked the aesthetic of those high-end bridgestones and your reimagining is gorgeous! Nice job! I love the paint and the headbadge. A fine-riding bike is a fine-riding bike, no matter how old it is. BTW I still own and ride my 1993 X0-1 , which, if not completely stock, is still true to the original design On Wednesday, July 9, 2014 6:06:49 PM UTC-5, Addison wrote: I had a lot of fun restoring my MB-1 and even more fun writing this tongue in cheek review of a hopelessly outdated lugged steel mountain bike with friction shifting, no suspension, and 26 wheels.
