CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!

Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.
not resolvedI was looking to revive my old bike at the weekend and that involved sanding the paint away for inspection in a few areas.
Does anyone know where I can source some paint now to cover this up (plain black will do)? I have Googled but its surprisingly difficult to find any.
Painting is a real craft. If you hold the bike in high regard these guys are about £40 for one colour and worth it if you can tolerate their unique customer service...
I just used a spray can of flat black Hammerite on mine, over a suitable primer.
edit - this was just a touch up of a few small areas where I'd removed flaking and blistering paint, not the full frame.
https://spray.bike/ make pretty good stuff. It isn't super tough, but it goes on easily. The cycle service stock it.
Yea, I'd just need to touch up a few areas so spray.bike looks worth a try. Will try and find some of that.
