Hey team,
Here’s a fun project I’m just finishing up I thought you might enjoy, This is a 1996 factory original Diamond Back Outlook mountain bike that I purchased for my wife, So basically it still new, just weathered..
Anyway My son is starting high school in a few months and instead of spending money (I don't really have) and buy him a nice new shiny bike, that he can lose, will get stolen, etc, etc, I decided to go (old School) on this one..
I did what my dad did with me, I sat my boy down and we removed every piece off the bike.. Then we sanded it down did all the prep of all the parts.. Aahhh good quality time with the boy, nothing beats that
So after a few days of trying different looks, colors, and everything else I could think of I decided to stick with the basics.. Less is more and almost everyone likes the P51 look (right) ?? ..
Well, I submitted my idea for approval and after careful review and much discussion I was approved to proceed.
With that said here’s how the project started and is progressing forward via pictures..
