Psycho Psycles - not!

As there's little to no chance nabbing a pair of their eyeball straddle thingies I've taken things into my own hands.

These are the real deal - pretty fricking cool. Pretty fricking pricey if you can find some....



Roly over at bicyclist.cc has had some nifty little straddle doodads made - they're really nice. I've gone and spoiled them/ improved them (delete as applicable!) by epoxying some really nice quality glass eyes on them. I think they will look pretty smart on my Explosif. Maybe not as ice-cool as the originals but I'm game.

Twin grub screws on the back to clamp the main brake cable - quite similar to Chill Pills - 20mm diameter

Hi, I do love this getting hands on at Bike parts mentality to create something on your own.

And the result is cool, just think that you've reached a bit of a weak spot.
Your cable hangers are looking pretty similar to Psycho Psycles hanger, but the are not close enough to match well.

Maybe you should build another pair, with an accessory glued on which is a bit more different to Psycho Psycles, just to get something obviously unique?

Sadly I'm not that creative! Perhaps a stuck-on teeny tiny snowglobe?!
