TRADITIONAL SHAOLIN SPITFIRE (Wu Tang Forever)

[BobbyStillz]

Now to play!

Anodizing on the bars has got to go! I'm using red grips, and want the contrast. The stancion clamps, however, will stay red.

ETA was for next Tuesday, they arrived today. Happy times in 'Bobbytown'

You must live on the main line for deliveries, have a knack for gettin' your packages days ahead of schedule!

Testing with seatposts while the bars are 'in the oven'.

 

[Captain Awesome]

I’m loving that vibe

Curing my fender extension...

 

[BobbyStillz]

The new bars are aluminum and a bit bright. I could patina them, but when I mocked up the seatposts (as bars) it was pretty clear I need to go steel...and a bit longer. The aluminum bars are only a foot long, so here we goooooo!

Looking forward to you custom clamp on bars. I had fun using some clamps on my bars for HEXtreme in BO16. This build is looking great.

Yeah, this is the way...

Need to dial it in a touch, but the fender is complete!

That fender / frame combo looks awesome~!

Nice blending of the fenders. Great fit with the build.

Thank you so much, guys! I would have preferred a uni-fender but it turned out well, and achieves the look I wanted. I did this on BALLOONATIC as well. However, it was an intentional part of the initial design, as I was going for an aircraft-riveting vibe.

Playing with some other bar options as well as some headlight possibilities.

 

[kingfish254]

I think those bars flow better. The shape of that headlight plays well with the top plate shape too

 

[Pondo]

I like that headlight.

More, secret project parts...

I'm going to have to mess with the letters a bit (mainly the 'S') to get the font right, but considering waterslide decal(s). I will probably only do 'Shaolin'. Though 'Spitfire' is pretty awesome, I need to adjust the transition frome 'f' to 'i', and the 'S', of course. I want to sprinkle in the graphic without making the bike a billboard

@Chuy Do you make waterslide as well as vinyl?

I just watched 1 video on YouTube on how to make them. Yeah I’m pretty proficient at making waterslides now. Message me with some details and I’ll try it out.

Right on
Once I get the font nailed down, I'll hit you up. Thanks
