Midschoolfool:
I figured I would see how my new roller ball cup press was. Amazing, it seems.
Time for some fun.
Midschoolfool:
Today I learned.
That Demolition Vulcan brakes are not only CNC. Oh no. They run on sealed bearings. That blew my mind.
I also learned that Phat Padds are the shit.
And if you sit on the floor long enough you will fook your back up and have to take 60mg codeine :LolLolLolLol:
Seriously though. All of that dumb shit aside. This bike is absolutely amazing. Like, all over. I've never worked so hard on something, taken crazy risks on something or been so amazed when shit actually worked. Of all of the bikes I have ever built I would say this is the only one I would consider a true masterpiece and a show worthy bike.
Glynnyboy:
Fantastic job and a great read. Can't wait for the end result fistblump explosion
Midschoolfool:
Thanks Glynn. It's nice to actually have time to sit down and read it back myself ! been going at it 12 hours a day for over a week. If I'm not working on it I am sat down planning my next move, looking at parts etc.
I do have something else lined up for this. But I will probably crack that out in a day or two, then show it.
Midschoolfool:
OK here goes. Custom stand. Bought a double stand with no intention of using both. I just wanted it wide so the bike doesn't fall over. It's heavy.
I bought this a while ago. Look familiar? cool.
Note. These are A3 panels. I already had a flat black one (3mm acrylic) left from a PC I built. first thing I had to do was cut the relief cuts so I could get a good trace. I did this before taking any pics.
I already had a load of stickers that came with the parts. One side will be like a billboard, the other not so much. Also note, the other side will not be black hence the 5 hours in making black decals last night.
You will see what those black shapes are for in the future. Today it was cut, edge, polish edges and drill and tap.
Then.
And.
I can now use that as a template for the other side, which will be made from this.
