RECONF16URE

I’m in! I was browsing thru my old photos in library and found one of my parts storage photos and looks like I’ll be taking a trip this weekend to brainstorm and see what I can reconfigure for my build.

Looks to me well overdue for a revisit, I can see any number of potential projects already

Welcome aboard Vin-New! Let those creative juices of your flow!
I already like what you did with your build name....slick work on incorporating the #16 BO.

RaT oN~!

That's a B16 pile to D16 through. You're gonna have to Z16 zag through it. There might even be the makings of a P16 bike in there. Don't W16 out if some of them are broken. You can always T16 or M16 weld them back together. You'll probably build up an appetite working on it, so bring some F16 Newtons.

I'm sure that you will be R166ING something cool from all of that.

Nice storage, like a one stop shopping depot...

By the way @Vin-New , I like the ingenious way you incorporated the BO16 reference into your build name. BRAVO!

Great minds...?

Do you have it F166ERED out yet?

Ok, I think I’m going with this frame/tank/fork for my build. I’m thinking the color scheme from the car photo, Flat white and gloss white for detail (spray can or powder coat) with gold wheel set and faux carbon wrapped tank, maybe?

Yeah, I think the wheels off that white frame will definitely suit the faux carbon fibre wrap. Could be a tight fit, though...

I am picking up what you are throwing down bud! Looking forward to see where this one goes.

Carbon Wrap found online, looks easy to install… anyone use it before?

 

[GeePig]

No, but sure - what could go wrong!

I have never wrapped anything but some presents and my sarnies, but I would love to have a go.

Depending on the thickness the pseudo vinyl sheet stuff goes on well by just wetting out the back and slowly squeegeeing it in place. A heat gun or hair dryer helps it stretch and be more malleable

Real carbon skinning is really not that difficult either and since it's not structural it would only need a layer or two. Resin, squeegee, sand, fill, sand, polish

 

[Dr. Tankenstein]

Yes, I made paper templates first then transferred it the wrap material

Looks Great!

Anyone use a Gold metallic spray paint to achieve this look?
