Your stencils look amazing. What's the material you made them from and where can you buy it?
At the bike path the average amount of wheels on a bicycle is two. The average amount of wheels on a pair of inline skates is eight. I wonder what Freud would say about this...

i started to work with a special stencil material but i ran out. its too expensive. then i ended using regular vinyl. your local sign shop might have it but then you will need to have some sign shop cut them up. i created everything since i make stencils and vinyl decals :mrgreen:

Thanks man. Your stencils inspired me to bother a local vandal/tagger. He showed me how to make stencils with masking tape and parchment paper. So we'll see how it goes.

Your bike is looking sweet! :)

Beautiful! Love the stencils and the kick-butt fender braces! If you offered 'em, I'd buy a set of braces from you! The 3spd ND hub is sexy-as heck!

Gorgeous bike Axsepul!

those braces are kind of tricky to make. it all depends on the type of fender and bicycle and the wheel position. in my case the bottom rear brace had to be redone again because i did the mock up with a smaller chainring and a normal 9 tooth rear cog. when i decided to use the triplspeed plus i got the big chainring that i was going to use the wheel ended up being a few clicks back. there for the brace didnt work and to be redone.

here's a phone picture for now. i'm taking it to a bike show tomorrow and should get better pictures if i dont forget the camera!

Had time to work on rear wheel set up. Drop stand had the ears and was not working for me. There was to many things installed on the axle with the ears, braces plus the rack. Was not leaving a lot of room for the nuts. Removed the drop stand ears and installed it on the holes on the frame. I also had to cut a piece of the rack leg so it wouldn't get on the way of the drop stand when in the down position.
