Looking sweet.
I think wheel covers would be perfect.

EL wiring would awesome for a Tron bike.

I've contemplated it, not sure how "crazy" I want this build yet, if I do go the Tron route I'll get my friend to pose with it in her Halloween costume:

While waiting for something to dry on my BBO8 bike I did a little wet sanding

Funky bike, can't wait to see all the tech, solar? :lol:

Thanks guys, im kicking myself for messing up the paint on one of the part so I'll have to redo it. Patients pays off with paint.

Funky bike, can't wait to see all the tech, solar? :lol:

Im actually thinking it. There's some usb rechargeable lights I like and penty of info on using flexible solar panels to get the right amount of power from them. I'd cover that center tube with solar and have the wires running to a bag that would distribute power to the lights and a cell phone. Still thinking through the possibilities.

I'd put a panel on the side like dutch-style bikes (look up "electra amsterdam") that have a hinge for for you can ride with them against the bike, and unfold them when parked.

Well, other projects got finished so it's time to finish this one.

Rethinking the seat, I'm between these two:

Since the frame is a solid blue, I think the top seat would probably look the best. Compliment it more and such.

I can't wait to see this bike finished.

[alecw35]

[Machine Age Victim]

Thanks, everyone! A quick paint job for my friend's single speed and a paint job for my girlfriend's road bike jumped in front of this. I have the bottom seat on its way, it popped up for the cheapest first.

 

[ChrisMac]

Just found this one. This is a COOL build !

Reminds me of Graeme Obrees Old Faithfull. Which he used to take the Hour record, about 20 years ago.



Graeme has been at Battle mountain recently, in his Beastie streamliner. got over 50mph in it

Nothing beats seeing a frame you have never seen before for the first time, can't wait to see this one finished.
