***** THE YELLOW TAPE HOLMES ****
« on: April 05, 2010, 01:41 PM »
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.

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.

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. :2funny:

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
