The road bike looks great in the picture..Never would guess it was a spray can.. :wink:

I've done a few spray bomb bikes, as long as you take your time and do the prep work you can get great results. I agree that looks great for a spray bomb though.

here is a Univega with a rattle can paint job..I think it came out great..I am afraid to clear coat it..might peel off..?

Thanks for the comment on the paint! If the frame is prepped right, the spray can is a valuable tool indeed. I use an old car
modeler's trick of soaking my spray can in hot water for a few minutes before I paint. Seems to make the paint flow much better.
Up lose, that orange has a few nicks and gouges; after touring on it this year, and hitting as many dirt roads with it as possible.

Nice bikes in those replies.

The main reason I am making it a slow rider is the frame was broken at the chain-stay gusset and welded before, also someone cut holes in the frame to run wire through the frame for lights, and spray-bombed it. It's ruined for BMXing. Besides I just picked up a Redline and a Hoffman.

Whats the serial number on the Goose?

M3-K4509

Manera, Japan plant/1983/ November (making it a 1984 model)/ 4509 Build number. I know it's a Californian. Also the bike could have been made at any time as they stamped the BB shell and had boxes of them in the storage room and did not always follow the numbers.
