Had a little distraction today. Picked up this Ross Apollo Racer

And man was I surprised what a basic cleaning with Simple Green and a brush did. Great ride too. You just gotta love those tires!!!!!

I definitely would not call this work, but I did play around with my stick on holes a little yesterday while I wait for the pizza pan. I am thinking more along the lines of a hole pattern like this and probably a scallopped direction on the trailing edge of the skirt. I have a few weeks of biz travel coming up, but I'll find time to make some progress on the weekends. I also have a idea in how I might be able to trim out the holes too.

I actually keep being drawn to the embossed lines in the drip pan. It's interesting how well they fan to the back starting with the seat stays.

I never really looked at that until now. The pattern did kinda line up a little with the wheel. I could see a fan pattern like that working well with a skirt.
 
Pizza delivery, but no time to eat it yet.

You using the original hole pattern? Liked that one a little better but hard to tell without seeing the second one with the whole bike.

Look forward to the final pizza pan skirt.

All of the mock holes that I have are traced from the main frame holes. They are just paper holes covered with black duct tape. This lets me played around with different patterns until I come up with a look that I am happy with. I do some more mockups before cutting the actual pizza pan. The idea currently in my head is closer to the second pattern, but with a more scalloped trailing edge of the skirt.
