Hulsroy's Hustle

what bars are those?

Caught up with the last week of activities here. Great work as always.

I finally got around to mounting my rear dynamo. I should have done it ages ago but I never really had an idea for how to do it neatly. But getting my rear light nicked progressed things.

I cut a bit of rubber sheet to fit the light and mounted it using double sided tape. Then took out the seat post and rolled on two o-rings to hold the light. The cord runs along the top tube outer.

I also received my fancy spacers. When I get a bit more time I'll mount some 28c G-One Pros and maybe flared bars.

Is that a rack mount light just with the mounting tabs under the o rings?

I’d be worried someone might think it looked like a normal light and attempt to nick it and just snap/pull out the wire in their stupidity.

Yeah. I should have bought the other light. But I have had this for a year so too late to return.
I rarely park my bikes outside. I think the other light got nicked because forgot it outside where I lock my bike up at work.

cheers!

I am picking up my frame from Mario Vaz later. I am super excited to see the colour. I left it a bit up to him. Getting out of the comfort zone get's me excited. A bit like bid wars on eBay.

So to continue the "rush feeling of letting go" I have started a conversation with @Manson7am
(his work looks mega dope) about some gold leaf hand lettering. I have started sketching stuff and found some references, but more inspiration is welcome.

Embedded photos don't work for me, but attachment does

Sorry. Fixed now.
Yellow represents gold leaf. I'll do some photoshop sketches later when I have the frame.

First impressions are WOW

Mmmm 😍

Nice, looks like JLR Coris Grey :)

What's the threaded poker?

The second font down gets my vote.

Pump maybe?

Yeah it's a HPX pump.

Nice colour!!

I like the 3d effect on the maroon frame best. The diagonal effect obstructs the horizontal lines too much imo

Gold text, black shadow works best, imo.

This. No doubt.
But I feel you could play a little more with the font itself. Maybe make it a bit skinnier, add a curve here and there like the R in trek.

This.

More inspiration;

Decals are usually a little higher up the down tube right?
