kosmonooit Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 I'm particularly partial to the one on the right. A close enough match to my Titus. Good vis as well
patches Posted January 15, 2014 Author Posted January 15, 2014 Looking good Porno Patches Thanks Bling-King!
Daft Vader Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 I need your vinyl expertise for my black ops aka Chinarello
Bobbo_SA Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 My first impression was "Dude, you have too much time on your hands... :-)" I love the blue and orange idea, my GT 1.0 is in the process of being converted to SS and reborn with his scheme as the inspiration (Will do a build thread on her when i have got some more progress under the belt). My plan is to go the 2K route due to having had some good experience with it on my model planes. Still need to find a rigid fork that can handle 26" initially with the long term plan of going 27.5"
Baaisikilist Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 So here's my idea for the top of the top tube. The S will be closest to the head tube It's a rough idea and I'm still working on the design as a whole. I'd have the SAKUMA letters written so that if you're sitting on the saddle it will read SAKUMA along the top tube.
Sidewinder. Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 I'd have the SAKUMA letters written so that if you're sitting on the saddle it will read SAKUMA along the top tube. Patches, before you do that just make sure you spell it SUKUMA Peach., RockCoach, doppelganger and 3 others 6
LanceB Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Gulf colours should only be applied to things with wheels, not all manner of industrial design chic as has happened of late. That blue looks fantastic and this Morewood should look thoroughly fanciful when finish – I would just be a touch OCD about actually riding it with intent, considering such a glamorous finish.

patches Posted January 15, 2014 Author Posted January 15, 2014 First/tester decal on... Was quite tricky to apply on the curve of the chain stay. But I think it looks ok... Vinyl looks much lighter than in pics. And this is the dark one. HowellingWulf, Sidewinder., DubbelBuys and 1 other 4
Grebel Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 You going to clear the frame after all the vinyl has been applied?
patches Posted January 15, 2014 Author Posted January 15, 2014 You going to clear the frame after all the vinyl has been applied? Yeah I'm hoping to get the plastidip glossifier to lock everything in and make it all nice and shiney
Grebel Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Yeah I'm hoping to get the plastidip glossifier to lock everything in and make it all nice and shiney And it will stop the vinyl from peeling as well.
patches Posted January 15, 2014 Author Posted January 15, 2014 And it will stop the vinyl from peeling as well. Exactly! I use soapy water in a spray bottle to apply the vinyl. Works great on normal paint finishes. Not so easy on plastidipped ones. So I think a clear coat or 3 will definitely help that vinyl stay vas
patches Posted January 15, 2014 Author Posted January 15, 2014 Looking forward to seeing it finished! Hahaha, me to I've got some creative block as I sit in front of my computer and cutter, wondering what the next vinyl design will be
