Hi! I'm from Pride Kustoms — first Ukrainian custom bicycle club.
This is
B-29, we've built it especially for K.G.B. 2009 contest that took place in Moscow. We've got 2nd place, Dee Troy 1st ))
We was inspired by Boeing B–29 Superfortress bomber that dropped the first atomic bomb.
Frame:
We used new out-of-the-box Felt Squealer. Took off all paint with chemical paint remover, than used sandpaper with different grade from P120 to P600 in the end polished all frame with polishing machine and different polishing paste. Each of the riveting was hand polished, cut and glued on its place.
Wheels:
Both of these are 24"x50mm rims with Felt Thick Brick tires. We decided to make them look like Enola Gay's
propellers — attached yellow reflecting film and laced with heavy black spokes.
Handlebar:
Custom made cafe racer handlebars with сustom made aluminum grips.
Seat:
Custom leather seat covered with old school pleats and yellow piping.
Details:
Everything that wasn't polished was powdercoated in matte black.
And of course, a beautiful piece of nose art!
