Re: Dead Man's Hand

What was the cost on that.... I think for my next build I will make a bike where all the chrome parts are copper... And i can do stained glass, so i can fill up the tank area with that to give it kinda a victorian look....

I did a little horse trading for it. I was told that re-chroming a sprocket ran about $40. But I am not sure if this would be more or less.

Re: Dead Man's Hand

Drug the frame in the house to get the wet sanding out of the way so I can lay down another coat of paint in the morning and I couldn't resist this.

Re: Dead Man's Hand

Finished up the base coat today. Give it a couple days to cure and then I will start laying out the scallops. I also got the lower end of my springer assembled and I think I like it. Just have to decide how to build the top.

Re: Dead Man's Hand

Re: Dead Man's Hand

Thanks for the tip, Karfer. I hadn't considered that.

Re: The Bike Formerly Known As Dead Man's Hand

This bike has evolved from the original name to the point that it must be renamed. As soon as I return from the vision quest where I am to discover the true name of the bike I will share it with you.

That is one interesting fork design! I LIKE it.....Looking forward to seeing a whole bike profile.

Wow, that copper sprocket looks gorgeous next to the white paint.. is that a bright white, or an off white? It looks like a nice off white in the pic.. either way, this is going to be beautiful.

Re: The Bike Formerly Known As Dead Man's Hand

It is a satin off white. I was going to patina the copper to a nice bluish green. But I just cannot bring myself to do it. That is part of the reason for the name change.
