Production week at uni so its time to be productive..
Well at least try.
This is my treasure chest
And here it is opened
Bought some Christophe straps in what I thought was a natural brown but it turns out it was more of a essex fake tan orange cream colour... ugh.
Took out my machete/scalpel and shaved it all off leaving just the raw leather which I think suits much more. Put them together and here they are.
Polished up the cranks and chainring I got from Hilary Stone a good while back, not 100% smooth and shiny but much better that what they were. Also got the front hub done.
Mums bought me some nail polish to give the inside of the holes a repaint. Will probably paint in the inside of the chainring and see what it looks like, kinda like this
This guy did it with blue but it looks kinda horrible.
Will also do the fork crown holes as that could look kinda funky in white rather than black. As the frame is most probably be painted in a similar shade of metallic blue.
Took some photos in the last bit of light but most all came out blurry and sh*t. Should really be documenting it with a better camera as the pieces/bike deserves it but I don't really do digital.
