Tongue and Groove ....Ply Wood Bike

Here is the latest ...!
Not finnished yet... need to do a bit more shaping on the inner thighs...
But I'm really pleased so far.... to say the least.

It feels solid and still lite, even though I have over built it. Most of the weight is in the bottom bracket. the stays are lite compaired to the other members...

I need to manufacture an anodized gold alloy headtube with flame like flanges on either side to bolt onto the head stock, also gold anodized alloy plate dropouts to bolt onto the dream-like stays.
A short but satisfying anodized alloy seat post tube will be inserted with tenderness as well as a BB…

Heres a two-tone shot just to make sure you'r still with me...


Front angle...with perspective!
Can't you just see that gold anodized flame embellished head tube with a Orange Chris King head set...coming at ya under the eerie glow of a solar powered street light...

Ultimately a black ‘natural carbon finished fork guiding a gifted… thanks Gman… black high flange, bladed, four spoke 26inch by 23mm Spinergy front and a Orange High Flange Velocity 700c flip flop rear…
All this proven coolness will be under constant power from a black Sugino crankset with black SPD’s at the first interface !!
In the cockpit ...Multi layer custom HollowTeck TM plywood bullhorn handle bars (yet to be built) hiding a black under-bar front suicide brake set up, wicking incense air freshener, integrated compass and copper insert grips will set of the second interface...And the final interface of man and machine...a anodised gold seat tube and binder, black natural carbon seatpost and ladies cutaway seat should send a quiver up anyones spine... Well that's at least how I see it ....


On the cultural side, the obliatory Won Bok connection...


This frame has two side like most thinks in life ...heres the smooth sophisticated side with clean no fuss flowing lines...

And this side sports a golf ball inspired Dimple-Matic TM anti wind drag vortex finish!



The BB has a swiss cheese like 11 layer layup with lots of holes.


Now delving a little deeper ... an undercover back stay tatoo...


And deeper...a little Bondage, although painfull is necessary sometimes ... check the pink and yellow cable ties and black and pink nipple clips...


The long and slender stays stand ready for sculpturing...and embelishment with some nicely worked gold anodised plate alloy dropouts.


Warning.... men at work... illusion or realisation...?

That's a gifted Maple crutch

Now even deeper .... Should this be classified ??

Now just to put all that in perspective ... check this gate house....
