    I have been thinking about it, this is a tweaked font i tried, gold with black lining. Not sure this is the the final result. About the headbage, i have been thinking about a custom eagle yes, but i have also been thinking about a custom logo that has nothing to do with the bike itself but...

    This time i made the chainstay protection in aluminium, brushed. Not quite as nice as the one i made for the bj but for now will do. Untitled by Mr. E Himself., on Flickr

    An auto painter, it´s a ok (but just ok) paintjob. I think everything will pop after i do the lug lining and apply the decals. The frame as is looks way too neutral.

    I believe it will ride easy no hands, it won´t be a racer but i´m sure will be comfy and steady (my favorite kind of bike).

    The color is way off on the photos, i used auto white balance instead of custom. The color is Blue Gray - RAL 7031 , but in real life is much more gray. http://www.ralcolor.com/

    Bought this frame very used and in a bad need of a respray. It was not for me but i ended up keeping it. I stripped the frame by hand, polished the steel and had it painted. It will have a modern groupset in the future but for now this is a low budget project. I still have to do the lug lining...

    Trust me, the bag is ok from a distance and for general use but not something i would sell (or buy). :D Check my flickr, there´s a couple of photos i haven´t posted here.

    Hard to say, had all the materials from other stuff i had made before. If you have to buy everything don´t know if it´s worth it. At least 60€.... :|

    The bag? I made a box with k-line foamboard with the size i wanted (four sides, one bottom). Then i made a sleeve of cotton duck and also a bottom and cover. Inside i used a water proof material wich is used for outdoor covers. Everything glued with contact cement. After everything was assembled...

    Yes, it was suposed to be polished aluminium, but this is what was laying around in my workshop. I expect it to turn dark brown in time, should look better. Of course if i can get the same kind of tubing in aluminium (for free) i will make another to replace this one. :)

    Well, this one was long overdue. A chainstay protector. I made it from copper tubing, should develop a nice patina in a few months. 8) Untitled by Mr. E Himself., on Flickr

    For me this is the best setup for confort/long distance. I use it for everything, sometimes light trails, always with the mudguards. Most of the weight is in the wheels, but i don´t care, they are absolutely bomb-proof. +- 4000 kms and still true, as true as new. Because of that I can run the...

    Yes. It´s a nice alternative to using a traditional rack with a handlebar decaleur.
