The Execution of old parts ! FBM Guillotine

(1/7) > >>

Midschoolfool:
What better way to get rid than build a bike  :LolLolLolLol:

I will really have to dig through IMGUR to find images of all the parts. It really is a mish mash ffs. I bought this frame super cheap recently.







Will repaint it. Not totally decided what colour yet. Ordered decals from USA



I've drawn a couple of others for die cutting with the plotter. The bike would have come complete looking like this.



Which tbh? for 350 quid or more was taking the piss a bit really. The whole thing is hi ten steel. That said, when I think about it I guess most Mafia shite bikes cost that and are like, all junk. Some even have 1pc cranks on. Man, bikes got expensive huh? I have redrawn the "Guillotine" text there for cutting for the top tube. Colour will be something very dark and sinister.

Parts. I have a sealed black external headset *somewhere*. I bought it for the Morales and didn't use it. Got a feeling that is downstairs somewhere. Bars will be Vocal Neptune powdered in black (cut, a lot) with a Firma stem.



Stem



With a Firma lever.



It'll be these bars here.



This brake



And finally  :LolLolLolLol:



BD seat and cult post.



Proper clamp. Painted to match the frame.



For wheels I ordered these on sale.



Tyres will be the Ruben campis from the Ruben I stripped.



I think that's about all of it. God knows !

Midschoolfool:
Oh and the fork will be the shitty Mongoose one on the STA when those bars were on it also. I had those powdered at the same time, so a quick buff and both should look awesome.

Midschoolfool:
Cheers. Looks like that will keep you busy :)

I ordered wheels so all I need now are pedals and grips. Won't really know what colour until I've ordered paint.

Midschoolfool:
Update of sorts. Can't upload pics because I'm out on my phone.

Thought about the cut bars and horrible fork and decided to replace. That said I was stingy af. I bought a really nice Eclat fork with cast ends for 30 quid. They need stripping and painting. Bought some trans black bars for 33 quid (United Air Jordan iirc) as well as two tubes, some demolition grips and purple Ruben graphite pedals. Total was ?100, so pretty good. Especially considering just a decent fork costs that.

Midschoolfool:
Parts are in. I went on holiday and got sick. Not sure what it was, but it's mostly gone and now I am self isolating for two more days.

I got these wheels.



These grips.



And these pedals. All was on sale.



I also got a couple of tubes. When I reassessed the Vocal bars they are cut to all buggery. So I got these, United Air Jordans on clearance for 32 quid.



They are trans black, so don't really look anything like that. I will get a pic at some point soon. For the fork I got forked a bit  :LolLolLolLol: I found some Demolition Concorde V2.



Which are 150 quid. I put in an offer of 40, and because I came down sick totally forgot about it. So when I found these (Eclat Storm, also 150 quid) for 30 I bought them insta.



They need a total strip and paint, but they are top top end forks. Then after that about three hours later the sod accepted my offer on the Demos so I bought them too. Couple of bikes here could do with better forks so hey, I now have two pairs coming and can pick.

Decided I am going to use the Haro lineage stem (it's much better than that Firma) and possibly the nuke sprocket too. Why use low end parts when I have top end ones and all that.

I literally just ordered the paint. Kobra did not have what I wanted in the colour I wanted it (dark purple) so I went with Molotow. They all seem about the same, but they had Blackberry.



However like I said it is getting a sinister twist, red flake.
