Oh yea, I could have some fun with that

What is that, a white base coat, then pin stripe tape, then black, then clear?
It seems a tad smaller than your green one.
I will compare the sizes this evening, the green one has been at work for a couple of weeks, while I have been riding the SR. Now the SR will stay at work for a while - at least until the garage is finished - it needs it's rear shifter cable replaced.
It is heavier than the green one, which has a Tange tube set, this one has no sticker identifying the tubes. This one also has a fixed fork, vs the front suspension on the green one.
I will look more closely at the paint to try to see how it was done this evening.
I like the Wheelmaster tandem 40H hubs and Velocity Dyad/Aeroheat rims so much, that I am planning that combination for the ISO559 wheel build - not sure if this one, or the green one will get those. This one will get Kenda 26x1.5 high pressure tires, front and rear.

This project took a very different turn from all my previous projects. Alex, a local teenager saw some of my bikes, and expressed an interest in learning to work on bikes. We used this bike as a vehicle for his learning, and it is his bike.
It is equipped with Tektro (V front, U rear) brakes and levers, SRAM X5 RD, Shimano M413 FD, Shimano M131 crankset, SRAM grip shifters, Alex Adventurer rims, Wheelsmith SS14 spokes, Shimano RM30 rear hub, an old front hub I had laying around, which Alex completely rebuilt, Shimano UN55 BB (73mm wide), Sunrace 11-34 cassette, MKS Sylvan pedals, Kenda Kwest K193 26x1.5 (40-559) tires.
It turned out wonderfully:

Now he is working on redoing his old BMX bike.

That is very cool, Nigel!
If you're interested enough to dig for info at Bikepedia, look for a GT Tempest or Talara - maybe 1992. It has been too many years and miles for me
