The Rollfast Controversy...

[user 135]

Great job on the recreating the stencil and paint. I tried making a stencil and failed. Ended up with a vinyl decal much easier, but paint would be way better.

Like Kev said, Please post the whole bike pic.

original seat...

vinyl spray color... (we'll see how well it holds up...)

redone seat...

 

[october]

the shifter thing...

so i ditched the bone stick shift, and put this thumb shifter on the seat post...

welded one of my shift mechanisms to the bracket from the reflector...

drilled a hole, and attached one of those folder clip things with a nut and bolt...

the mechanism with cable attached...

added a spring to the arm...

here is my "license plate"... on the back is a playing card, and the whole thing is laminated together...

here it is attached...

so there it is... a cable operated, license plate/card in the spokes device...
here is a clip of the working mechanism...



so that's it... i'm officially DONE! hope to have my pics in the finished bikes section tonight...

thanks,
october

October, That might the best accessory yet! Way better than "bike pipe" I put on mine. Job well done.

oh...my...gosh...that is awesome!
That cracked me up envisioning seeing you riding down the street and putting it into action and the looks of suprise you're gonna get. That's just too cool.

I am very impressed...

Remember when you first posted the Bike as a new Find,
way before the RRBBO ?

Remember all the PM's I sent you wanting to buy it from you ?
I'm glad I didn't, because I don't think I could have done it better myself!!!

THAT, is a beautiful Bike October.

peace,
Kev.

[Hooch]

I see a bit of mad skilz there! beautiful bime man!

 

[yustin]

some mad skillz, indeed. once again, awesome idea.

 

[Multipass]

First rate job! The colour choice is perfect for the style. And the remote operated 'card-in-the-spokes' ----> Best. Accessory. Ever.
