***** THE YELLOW TAPE HOLMES ****

[LENNY-LENTINI]

I built this Rider in homage to Gary72's Camo Tape Holmes.

The frame is an original Chrome Oversize Holmes with bits I nicked off my Challenger or Dan at BMXCITY (Grantham) found in his wharehouse.

I got the frame from GingerHolmes on here and when it arrived was in better condition than what I expected. So one day when I was bored I decided that I would change the colour for £1.89

Got myself some yellow Electrical Tape from B&Q, 2 hours later and Bingo The Yellow Tape Holmes was born. I then printed some early holmes style letters off a number plate website cut them out and stuck them on with Sellotape.

I know it's not the most normal thing to do but if there is one consolation it does put a smile on my face.









Keep the faith. L

Seen a few taped up bikes up Ayton in the 90s- even did mine in brown tape one time, so to me, it does fit mid school looking bike - looks good.

I like it. A bit like a BMX johnny.
Ride it hard & feel protected if you bail

Haha I remember sticky dots from WHsmith.

Do you remenber that issue of BMXActionBike where they sprayed graffitti and stuff on a DP and put dots on it?

I think they gave it away as a competition prize.

I have that copy somewhere, it was sprayed in some mad bright pink or green.

yup ive got it too,  was the inspiration for my attempt,   mine looked shite      took me ages to get em off

[magna13]

i like this Holmes quite a bit

[teamsano]

i did my silver streak in red tape once.

i like how you see the other holmes stickers thru the tape. and you mightve done a better job round the dropouts. 

overall 10/10.

i.e. from 10 metres away at 10p.m. it looks good.

Cheers Brother

I might take it to Radchester 10, looks like a good bash.

It's my Rider so the tape has nearly fell off the dropouts now. might change it to red, John Paul Rodgers style if I can be arsed to go to B&Q. Haha

[LENNY-LENTINI]

Hahaha

Just come across this whilst trawling through RAD.

Forgot all about it.

Keep the faith.L
