I bought the water slide decals on ebay a couple of years ago. I scanned them and used photoshop to clean up the scan. The original had some color missing and other issues. That really stinks that your Cyclone got stolen. What would someone do with a stolen one-off bike like that?

Well my camera is still fighting me. I had a friend come over and take some pictures but since then we have been playing phone tag. The machine is ready and can be seen on Thurs. the 4th at around 6pm at The Alki Tavern. Then of course at Goldies on airport way on the following Sunday during the bike swap/show and shine. My plan from the start was to stick to the asigned "Underground Bicycle Culture" theme. I think we did just that and we are happy with the results. I have had a look several times at the oponents machine. It is a sweet sweet ride, and we will be hard pressed to win this contest. But these are two very different machines concieved by two teams who at the begining had no idea what the other was up to. What it will come down to is the frame of mind of the judges and the crowd. The metal work and enginuity of the Mad Hammer is undeniable. The quality of workmanship beyond reproach. But the XO1 is an animal of a different color. Nearly every part came from a yard full of rusty relics including the doner wooden canoe used to build the side car body, The rusty Hawthorn frame used for the side car chasis, the decreped old Shwinn frame and forks for the pilot bike, and all the hardware used to bolt, chicken wire, and weld the scattered parts into a whole. We used no high tech tools, skills,or for that matter not usualy the right tool or any skill at all . But the look of this machine will apeal we feel to the underground bicycle people it was intended to represent. I can take nothing away from the Mad hammer. No doubt we are up against stiff competition. Should team Blacksmith win we will accept the loss with all the sportsmanship that is to be expected . We will smile and shake hands and great the crowd with humble exceptance. Then find Larry in the parking lot and beat him sensless with a brick.
I guess I should let everyone know at this time that we of course were kidding and would not beat Larry with a brick, ,,,,,
it would be far more fitting to weylay him with a metal pipe.

F@#$%ed Up Beyond All Repair.....Yep. those GI's gave us quite a few great little bits of slang. I guess when you spend weeks on end laying in a muddy fox hole waiting to spend more weeks in a muddy fox hole you have the time to finess the language to suit the emediate populations attitude.
