Painting new f6b

[opas ride]

Play around with your 'puter.
You'll figure it out.
If not, ask your kid or better yet your grandchild, these days they're born with a phone in their hand............... mine were.

Right on my friend, I have 16 Grandkids ranging in age from 20 to 2 and their are all smarter than me with this "high tech" stuff...I guess I am still and "old school" guy and see no need for this fancy, expensive, and generally useless gadgets!!!

I find it kind of funny - I worked my entire life on high tech computer systems and I find most of the gadgets useless as well.

I too have a strong computer background.
Been building them since 1983.
Got a BS in "Computer Science" and an MS in "Information Systems Management."

What I tell people?
These gadgets are merely tools - NOT a lifestyle.
When people treat them as a "got-to-have-or-I'll-die" kinda thing, that is completely out of line with the intent of technology.
IMH(AWI)O.

Taking this bike apart was crazy.

Hi Jim, how long did it take you to get all of those painted parts off of your bike? I want the blue color, but if it's too much of a hassle getting it apart and back together then forget it! Thanks!

6 hours. I read the service manual prior so helped alot knowing the shortcuts

This isn't really practical; but someone would probably pay you for your blue painted parts. You could use that money towards getting their parts painted for your bike.

Just a shame to paint over that nice blue color. You could be painting over the more common red or black.

I like my black, just wish it was clear coated.

It only costs me materials. I do this stuff for a living, so no biggy. Blue is discusting. Going with Mercedez black , clear coated
