made these brass id plates. i'll probably end up using one. don't worry, i will not drill the frame. i'm thinking of a fake rivet with double sided tape to the chain stays. i think i made the right choice with the font but what you think?

i found some plastic tabs on my tool box (i never throw anything away!)

gave the plate a little curve to contour to the frame

i figured that i was not going to get the flushed look with double sided tape so i used epoxy

here it is on the bike

Not shocked. Those are just eye-boggling bikes. When you put them all together it is almost too much to look at all at once.

You build very nice bikes.

Thanks buddy! All three have working new departure triplspeed hubs. Out of 1500 bikes at the bike show they were the only 3 bikes with ND triplspeed. There were a lot with SA 3i and shimano 3i but seem to think that they are all the same. Most have never seen or knew that the ND triplspeed conversion unit existed. I don't blame them since they are so rare.

This decal came with the unit so you can put it on the rear fender

I made a few a while back. Will have to check if I still have any!

had this old shirt laying around and decided i needed something to ride tomorrow

my friends and me are not part of any bike club yet we like to visit every club whenever we can so people started to call us the independents. thats what the words "los independientes" means. and since we normally hang out in the town called mayaguez i decide to use the indian head. every town has something that is known for, mayaguez is known for the taino indians. basebal team, basketball team and every other sport team from mayaguez are known as "los tainos"
