話說....
當我跟比爾先生 聊到他們的新網頁有稍加修飾過的內容 我注意到他們左上方顯眼的 20th anniversary.
對喔! 從1989年到現在 .......AEROSPOKE 20歲了!
以我長期的職業嗅覺 我便問他了 今年既然是原廠20週年
那有沒有啥特殊的好東西會推出??
"sure, we will have 20th anniversary painting in our product.
In this edition, they all have the platinum color at the center, and then fade to another color of your choice at the edge, and have the special 20th. anniversary chrome logos..."
然後 比爾先生就寄給我兩張圖先瞧瞧.....
這塗裝，要價是多加美金usd$ 180 元啊！真是高貴喔～～
由於先前曾引進過白色的烤漆輪組 那次看到的感覺...
靓是靓啦！ 但是就....沒有說很夠水準的烤漆質感.....
雖然後來才知道是他們輪爪carbon部分的模具，部分有問題所產生的。
但這次由這兩張照片看來， 先不論是否每人都很喜歡此配色
但我想光從這裡已可以看出 此雙色漸層的烤漆做法，
既要有夢幻白金的珍珠質感 ，又要五爪部分的漸層能平均的過到輪框部位的深色，
在這組紀念版烤漆的作法, 需要比單色的噴塗....至少多了四道工 才能ok!
..........說實話 師傅的工藝水準真要很夠才行! 不然原廠有多少時間讓 painter 暖身啊？
比爾兄也在此強調, 對原廠而言, 製作406MM 小輪圈 確實比700C 等大size的難作多了!
".....We are trying to work on the lead times to get them shorter. The problem with the 20" wheel is that they are VERY hard to make as compared to the other wheels, and we make them infrequently. "
"in this anniversary wheel, The graphics will be a chrome vinyl and there is a little tag under the decal that says 20th anniversary......."
＂We can do the anniversary edition in any color on the outside of the wheel. All of them will have the platinum color in the center, fading to another color at the outside. They will also have the new graphics. BTW, all of the graphics from now on will be vinyl. We have done away with the chemical decals.....＂
"Our painter does a pretty good job for the price. The anniversary editions are more, because the paint is harder to shoot; more paint and more labor.
Also, the decals for the anniversary edition cost 4 times more."
我看到這照片與比爾的解釋 想了依下，大約10 分多鐘吧！我便回信下單ㄌ～
我相信原廠, 沒理由把首張訂單的紀念組 給他搞砸吧？
等了許久的貨到時, 看到實品 的確是很搶眼的彩繪噴塗質感在眼前~!
排排站由左至右為: 碳原色 新版LOGO碳原色 二十週年紀念組
近照下的質感:
範列在BD-1 的車上 很搭的配色,
