Re: Chantilly Lace (lace inserts)

Re: Chantilly Lace (lace inserts)

Thanks Machine Age Victim and Mazdaflyer. Its been a learning experience but aint that what the build off is for? pushing us out of our norm and trying something new.
 
Re: Chantilly Lace (lace inserts)

Re: Chantilly Lace (laced darts)

About all I got done today was the darts on the fork. I did get the rest of the frame painted but closed up shop after I fubbed up and had to sand and repaint an area on the frame.

Nice camo mocs and darts. :p
 
Re: Chantilly Lace (seat ideas)

Starting to work on the small stuff now. Right now Im thinking of seat ideas
Heres the seat that came on the bike, which I would love to use but its a single pan

heres my other options a troxel seat off a 24 inch girls bike


Just dont really like how the springs are hidden on the troxel

I havn't been following too many builds this year, but this is one I have been. You went were I was hoping you'd go with the lace work and then some. I'll vote for this girls bike!

Thanks, I figured the lace would only work if I went all out with it.

Dude that lace really pops on the white!! ..which is a great contrast to how subtle it is on the darker paint. This thing is looking great!!
Thanks, It worked better then I could have expected, I had almost decided to just pinstripe an area on the tanks but really think just the pinstripes wouldnt have had near the effect
 
Re: Chantilly Lace (seat ideas)

Sorry no updates in the last couple days, Ive been trying to recover from a self induced slight concussion. I was doing my nightly rounds saturday night and was checking the pump in the basement and when I went to go up the stairs I raised my head to fast and smacked the top of my head on the beam at the bottom of the stairs
 
Re: Chantilly Lace (seat ideas)

Seat idea........get an old lace table cloth and cover the seat. OK, not very original given what you've already done...nice work...

Re: Chantilly Lace (seat ideas)

How about a black leather with brass tacks for the seat, would be Stevie Nicks style leather and lace.

If I go with the single pan seat Im thinking black leather with antiqued brass rapid rivets. If I go with the double pan it will still have black leather but no rivets and a little extra treatment
