I have been a busy little bee...

[reiobard]

Well, I had been ignoring my bike all winter because it is too painful to look at and not ride, until a couple weeks ago...

I took a look at her and decided that she needed some reflective rim stripes:

My dog approves of them

 

[reiobard]

and then i decided that if people can SEE me coming, they should be able to HEAR me coming :rockon: So i bought a set of lightly used Leo Vince Carbon cans and installed them today, once again under close supervision of Reece:

Well done! I see you had the third in command checking your work
What's next ....mod wise.

 

[reiobard]

All of this was inspired because I finally got myself a workbench and organized my basement "Garage":

Excellent job :thumbup: !!!! I thought you want scorpions. By the way, how hard was it to install the rim tape. I wish I had a basement.

Not sure, but i would love some Pazzo levers on the bike, but the next mod on the house is Bamboo floors in the living room, Hallway, and Dining room... We bought all that today with our Tax return...

The rim tape was a lot easier than i thought it was going to be, just buy the pre curved stuff and go slow and it is very easy. I was considering the scorps for budgetary reasons, But the Leo's are so sexy and buying them used i got them for cheaper than the scorps would have been...

Boy, That sounds like a blast......not, but I am not far from something like that myself. Man I feel for your knees and back.

yeah, my knees and back already hurt every day... may as well abuse them more...


Probably my next mod on the bike will be Frame sliders... Those are something i should have done a year ago...

Nice work with the rim stickers. So perfectly round and concentric...

Where did you get the tape?

 

[reiobard]

Where did you get the tape?

E-Bay, they were really good, fast shipping and they give you enough tape to do a whole side of a wheel again if you mess up, I still have all 4 of those pieces:

Nice job mate :thumbup: Leo's :rockon:

Almost looks like a rim tape dog collar. Mmmm..... is blue your favorite color?



Nice pics!

 

[reiobard]

is blue your favorite color?



Nice pics!

Yes blue is my favorite color, but that collar is just plain old blue nylon... But his leash is blue nylon weaved with reflective silver.

and thank you!

Snap ! My dog's leash and collar are the same..........now if this years dog registration disc's come in blue I,ll be happy

Both mods look great! Thanks for the pictures.:rockon:

 

[codeblue]

Great work on the mods. Those reflective rim tapes are awesome, placed my during the summer while it was warm. And those Leo's are sweet looking, those are the new style, right? Again, congrats on the mods.

 

[ironman]

Does the blue collar make him run faster?

Check this. I have a blue weimaraner with a blue collar. The combo makes her so fast that we have to weigh her down to keep her from running so fast that she burns up in blue flames.

 

[psnbye]

Just ordered those cool stickers (the real great RED ones) hope they get here soon 'cause I cant wait for them to get here so they can sit in the box with my other mods because its TOO DAM COLD to put them on. Its 9 below now. Stupid groundhog...

Nice job on the good deal for the L&V's, looks great. Luv that E-bay I am looking for the very same ones too!
