Good to see some movement Noddy, well done. Cheers, Terry.
Thanks mate, but who are you and what have you done with Terry?
Heh, just kidding, it's actually nice to have some positivity here. Yep, I'm all over the copper-plating process from the last build, but I've done a test spoke with a light surface rust and I think it will work fine without affecting the integrity of the spoke once it's sealed. The vinegar works fine, and it's cheap and easy, so I'll just plod away with it, I'm in no hurry.
..so making old things look even older is what?
You've actually got me there...
.....as a designer you shoukd know: form follows function.
Sure, and I've defined it's function, which this design follows.
Those rims are beautiful....too nice for powder.
Actually the chrome on the front rim is already shot. Sure I could re-chrome it, but then, beauty is in the eye of the beholder isn't it (I'm pretty sure we've covered that extensively already)? The rear is just a steel Harley rim, nothing special there.
