I will ask the dumb question... Did you check the batteries?
I plan to install mine on one of my regular frames to see if it works. Maybe tomorrow.

That's not a stupid question..
Yes i used new batteries but the holder is pretty corroded, didn't get 6 volts.
Trying t find a way to get 6 volts from something else buy haven't found it yet

The seat is fixed!
I had this old Lepper seat laying around knowing that one day i would use it
Had to replace the seat bridge because i wanted to use the dropper post
Took another seat and used that bridge.

Also found some matching grips, haven't found out how to order them. The website isn't quite working.

Well I've never seen that before! Impressive

Genius move with that saddle mod, I’ll be adding that to the ‘cool ideas to copy one day’ file

Lekker bezig!

Lekker bezig!

Perfect phrase choice. I love multilingual puns.
Op die fiets!

I got the electronic shifting working with some diy battery terminals made from a old headlight

I made a video of it but it doesn't seem to upload..
Anyway, change of plans.. It's just too big and bulky, i don't like how it looks

It messes up the lines of the bike.
So yesterday i orderded a suicide shifter and a pair of grips

I had a look at a few of my regular frames and I don't get how is it supposed not to be in the way of the crankset or the chain or the tire. It looks like there is a very good reason why they never took off.
I think colorwise it matches your frame, doesn't look bad at all at the chain stays.
I still haven't lost hope to install mine though. Otherwise I have to bother selling it, setting up a seller's account etc...

The chain is supposed to go in front of the mounting bracket and underneath the unit. So it sits very high above the chainstay

This is info from the Shimano techdoc

Grips:

Motostyle grips with polished alu rings

Shifter:

Having doubt for the placement of the shifter.
Option 1
On the rear stay

Option 2
Front side of the frame

What do you guys think?
PS i have these also...
For mounting the outer cable to the frame

I prefer option #2 for mounting. Classic hot rod vibe

I'd put the shifter on the seat stay. It is more comfortable to use this way in my opinion On my daily bike it is placed there.

Rocking seat!!!

 

[bleedingfingers]

Position number 2 and bike is looking great so far
Also good trick with the seat mount

 

[GeePig]

I like the seat stay choice, but is there any reason why it has to be mounted vertically?

 

[OddJob]

Front mount for the shifter, hot rod style, shows off better. Coming together nicely!

Nope no reason, Just the first options
It can be mounted anywhere. What do you think is a good place to mount it?

Thanks man!
