That looks so good! Beautiful.
Thank you Oddjob! Appreciate your message.
We went camping on our holiday! Stopped the build (but not the rambles!) for a while.
Yesterday I worked on the pedals. I'll send an update today or tomorrow
Our large vehicle stuffed. The doors can fully open 180 degrees so you can fit a euro pallet in there.
Our heavy cotton tent. This is an old Dutch 'De Waard Kapmeeuw' for those interested
The bike right now:
More soon! Thank you guys!

Dig the tent! And yes, that van is packed to the gills. I have many fun camping memories from my youth and as a parent with my sons.
The graphics on the bike turned out great! I must have missed that before.
RaT oN~!

That tent is massive! Awesome. I like my space and to be able to stand up inside
was important to me. My bad back has kept me from enjoying these things for
some time now. Miss the days of laying on the bare ground. That's a great tent.
Your build is even better!

This is the first picture with the graphics on, so no shame Oddjob

Yes the tent is large, although this is a mid-size compared to some of this brand.
We can stand up straight in the tent but it is easier to get on your knees when you need to do things in the tent due to bad weather.
Mentioning bad weather... on a tuesday we had a thunderstorm that caused the whole campsite to be lit.
And the show was loud too, especiallyin a tent! Lightning struck within a mile of our tent, giving this bright yellowy flash. It was pretty tense!
Nature is beautiful and scary sometimes
UPDATES
I haven't done that much work on the burrito bike.
Lots of thinking and weighing options.
I wanted the rat fink stickers so bad on there that I tried ideas (drinking bottles, a licence plate) to put on the bike.
But I realized that this was'nt the flow state I was looking for.
The bike, except for a few details, is as good as done.
She rides just great. Seat is comfortable.
I was missing a detail near the rear wheel, since the front has much to look at and the rear is calmer.
I think I found something. Checkout the pictures below!
Pedals: The plastic 'temporary' pedals are turning smooth. Scraping the tarmac doesn't hurt a bit. So considered leaving those on.
Then I tried my 'custom' pedal project and I like it a lot! Too bad the pedals will get a little scrape damage...
Plastic pedals.
And my ideas for a custom pedal:
2020 extrusion profiles!
Mockup, this is cool!
To 'get a grip' on the pedals, I will slide these nuts in and secure them with a grub screw!
Work in progress, but this looks very cool!!!
A few more ideas:
A bell. Hmm..... don't know yet.
A piece of a hanger from the BO18 bike. Pretty cool.
