some bastard decided to poor something on the top tube of my bike the other day  which caused the paint to bubble and flake off.. lovely.. was only a small patch, but i dont really like the "raw in places" look.
So i e-mailed the company i got the frame off (chainreactioncycles.com), and they sent me out a rattle can of paint  they were really good about it, and charged £10 for it  so i got a sand on, and set out to try and match this small patch to the rest of it, a few sprays later and a whole lot of sanding, and i have just checked it out, and it looks like this:
was only a smal lsection on the top tube i had to respray, but i thought i would take this opportunity to show my baby of aswell

I think a Chicksands meet is definitely on the cards for Corsasport. Have to get there very early i.e. 8am otherwise parking is a biatch

Location: Bedfordshire basically.
You'll have to pretty much travel up/down the A1 to get to it. Or the M1, may be 
http://www.bedsfattrax.org
That is the club that runs it.
The area has been renamed Chicksands Bike Park iirc.
Got National Points 4x course, dual course, downhill runs, north shore, ladder drops, 8 pack, 6 pack, table tops. Pretty much everything.
Well worth the trip.
There are no facilities i.e. toilets though. But it is a woods, so you don't really need to worry about that. Definitely Sundays, may be Saturdays there is a fast food van doing teas, bacon rolls etc.
