Very cool concept sketch. Looking forward to seeing it come together.

Love the rear fender! that works perfectly with the X-53 frame!

Thanks for all the comments, I've started to render the concept on my iMac so I can have more control of the parts and color schemes for the build, partially rendered, hopefully I can scale up the pieces that need to be custom made and fabricated. Again, still just a concept...

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Love these digital concepts that are turning up this year!

Luke.

I really like both the pencil and computer based renderings.
The floating partial fenders are sick and tank/rack treatment really flow well.
You have some great ideas around this build!!!

Here is my MiXfiT Parts Virtually Compiled. Gives me a good idea on what I can look forward to Piece by Piece for the Build.


Here it is...
Drumroll Please...
It's MiXfiT!

Just like a model kit!

The fenders are too cool! I just might hafta swipe that idea someday...

 

[Shock_Hazzard]

I'm loving the bars. Any Ideas on how you'll go about making them?

 

[Vin-New]

Thanks, I was thinking to cut down some standard bars to the right size where the bend of the bars allows for bar-ends to be mounted to get that "J" like bars. That's the thought anyways

Nice. I wish I could draw a clean pencil sketch like that. the CAD drawing is also cool, I haven't had too much luck with CAD for bicycle drawing either. The rear rack and fender... awesome. and I like the idea for the bars as well. I may be borrowing several ideas from this build in the future

Revisited Color Scheme.

Possible Color Scheme Change, Not Sure just yet. Need some Feedback.

Thanks -Joey

Looks pretty rad to me. Seems to balance the looks more. You could also go with this look and do red and black fenders (black on bottom half maybe). The chain ring looks great in red against the black chain guard.

Much better with the fenders and tires.

 

[kingfish254]

Yes on the red rear fenderette
Yes on red chainring
Undecided on tires

I like the matching fender paint, just realised that was throwing me off with the old pic...

I like your new revised colours

Any progress on applying some of that cool computer work to metal?

 

[Vin-New]

How's it going! I really didn't think this one thru! It's all great and fun and easy to render an idea on a computer but in the REAL physical world has it's challenges.

I was hoping to find sheet metal/metal parts that are similar to my design and use and adapt for the build, but it has become very much challenging. I do have an alternate inexpensive and lack of the metal aesthetics of fabricating the parts. I have access to corrugated paper board cuts of the parts needed. That would be my last resort (if proceeding with the concept). With that said, I may have to change my build, maybe stick with a build without any Fabricating. Will see.

Thanks Joey.
