Really loving this, looks just how i imagined, its awesome, have you been out for a spin yet?
Still lovin this Giles!The seatclamp is the absolute NUTS!!
Looks lovely Giles,I personally love polished stuff although there are others who are not fans!Nice stem too!i must admit I was expecting to see it on the bike!!
that is sweet as, its going to look good with a ful padset on i reckon How much difference does the velcro make on the front brakes, I've thought of trying it
**I think you may want to tighten the front adjuster a bit on the caliper as it doesn't look seated right**
I've been loving this thread! Well done for going all out and mixing it right up. What about getting a red & a blue walled tyre and putting them on the opposite wheel? I've had a quick look but I've nolt found a matching pair but I'm sure it isn't impossible. Something like these?
so glad i put my sun glasses on , i really love the colours great build would love to see it in the flesh Kappy
Awesome build . Just seen this on flea bay and thought of you .. Item 180863864685, http://bit.ly/HKBQ14
I always like experimenting with things so I thought I'd try and put some graphics on the pads. Now, the only pad that's arrived so far if the stem pad so that'll be the first one. I've knocked up a couple of t-shirts for mates in the past and had some of that paper left over that you print your design onto, then iron it onto your item of clothing. I knocked up a quick design at work then printed it on the paper. I must stress, these aren't meant to be really great designs; my pads I'm having done have the really good design on. These are just to pass the time! It all went smoothly and ironed on fine, unfortunately the blue pad isn't the best colour to put these iron-on prints onto and it didn't show up that well. It's meant to be a red design with yellow outline on a blue background but it looks more muddy! Never mind, they were only meant to be temporary anyway. Maybe it'll look better in the light of day?The frame and handlebar pad are red so maybe the blue design I have for them will be clearer? Anyway, here's some pics so you know what NOT to do! It was hard to get a picture without the flash shining off the pad too much. It looks a bit grainy in the pics but that's just the photo. The colour is solid but just doesn't stand out that well. A white pad would've been fine (but wouldn't have suited my colour co-ordinating!).It doesn't look any better the further away you get.......... and even further....... It was worth a giggle but I think I'll leave it to the pro's in the future!
