OK so some more stuff has been ordered.
Depending on where you read this you may already know that another one of my hobbies is collecting, restoring and giving paint jobs to bicycles. Mainly BMX, I now have 20 full bikes. Some old and some newer. This is why I cut my teeth in painting, because coatings are expensive if you don't do it yourself. Any way, at the end of last summer I built an absolutely top drawer killer bike for me to ride next summer. This would have cost over two grand, but I found a few items that were in need of a lot of love. Including the fork.
Yes, I am fully aware you don't like the tyres. Not your bike is it? Any way, like I said the fork needed a custom jobby. The frame is Dave Krone's signature frame from S&M. Hand built in the USA. It is Sega themed.
So I decided to roll with it. Including a three day custom job on the fork.
I only painted like three lines with the yellow so I have nearly a full can left. And some silver flake. So that will do the PSU nicely. However one thing was bothering me. The ugly AF square in the middle of the PSU.
So last night I found another design that just really seemed to fit perfectly on the RH public library. I then had to redraw that because it was tiny and would not vector trace properly. After about two hours I had this.
Which will need a tool change and take about two hours.
Going back to the PSU. When I fitted the parts up last night I remembered the cables are 75cm. Which is too long. So, I am going to cut the ones I cut in yellow in half, and basically rewire the entire PSU. In 30 odd (half of 75). I had another roll of that arrive today, so I am not even going to braid it with paracord because it's more time, more expense and more work. It will also make the cables take up much more room, which by the end will be a problem.
I ordered some more fittings from OCUK too.
Some stainless rulers.
Which will be clamped down to stop me ruining any cuts (a fence). And took a massive kick in the testes for this.
