    The chain is looking very “metal chain like”, @johnb.

    Radiator and chain attached. According to the instructions, the rear tire should be mounted as well. To prevent it from being sprayed with a gloss clear coat at the end I'm leaving it off. Those shiny tires don't look that nice on a bike in my opinion.

    Excellent progress, my friend @johnb. As long as the wheel can be inserted after the final coat it is the wisest thing to do

    Sounds like a good plan, @johnb, but it’s best to be sure if the rear wheel is able to be fitted after everything else is attached.

    @fiveten, @chinesegeorge, thanks all. I did check if this was possible, the only thing that I need to do is leave the brake caliper off. This should make it possible to fit the rear wheel at a later stage.
