If all else fails make a fake chute pack and deal with it later. It'll still look good photographically. I understand the burnout factor, believe me!

Amazing bike. It turned out great. I was reading how you did your paint job. I would like to know how you did the painting process for the bike. I think it would make a great diy write up.

Darn nice high tech metalworking in this bike. What would a set of knock-off hubs cost someone voting for your bike?

I've got a parachute and some cardboard. I might need some action figures to save this one.

this bike is so well crafted that its mind blowing! :mrgreen: it takes awhile to actually absorb all of the fine details going on here. really excellent work!

Re: >>>Eliminator 20" Muscle Bike: Chute Mounting Plate, pg. 53

Wahooo! An army of bunnies.

Ignore the cardboard in the post above. I had this cool plan to make a box and have it flip open with the inside made so it flung the chute out. I figure all the old vintage bicycle chutes that were sold had boxes, so that is what I would do. The problem is that I think it just will not look so good. So a bag is in. I got to get out the sewing machine. Someone mentioned a awhile back that a bag was the way to go. They were right...well, unless I change my mind again. Anyway:

Maybe black.............................Maybe shiny silver

I think that would be me. To qoute Samuel Jackson, " Good ###### ######' choice ###### ######". unfortunately, Sam's not very family friendly. Also thanks for the info on the pin vise, I'd really like to aquire one of those, I just don't want to see the price!

Re: >>>Eliminator 20" Muscle Bike: Chute Mounting Plate, pg. 53

Price!? No, you really don't want to know. Think about over $500 for your standard size model.

Ain't it pretty?

A perfect addition to my fictional machine shop!

Re: >>>Eliminator 20" Muscle Bike<<<: Chute Material, pg. 55

That look too cool man I hope it works out fine. Because I plan on doing the same thing in the future. 8)

You may want to use that extra space in the bag for a launching spring, kinda' like that snake in a can thing kingfish suggested.

The fabric kinda reminds me of Goldmembers brother Silvermember.

Re: >>>Eliminator 20" Muscle Bike: Drag Chute Bag Sewn, pg. 55

Why don't you move to NC so we can build stuff together, your work is somewhere around that top knotch up there.
