Union JacK-Raleigh Twin bar-Last Update-8/5 MOCKUP!

[TheFlyingDingo]

Sorry steve(mods), never thought to move it myself
lol

I have my Raleigh twin bar(as of a month ago):

Which is currently in pieces.

This was the first day i got it
When i got it i went through two blowouts

The Day i got my shifter from superstuff, which is planned to go on the bike

The bike had many color ideas, black with gold pinstriping, Lime green and black with yellow
and now British racing green with the union jack on the guard

Im thinking about doing a tank cutout and putting the Jack on the tank instead of the guard, ill figure that out eventually.

Re: Union Jack-Raleigh Twin bar

28" Raleigh fenders exist right?
If so, i plan to find some. if not, i want to make some of my own. If the bike had fenders, it would let me allow more color instead of just on the chainguard

I have to figure out how im going to fit a union jack design on the guard

28" fenders.

I like how Raleigh cut the peacock shapes into the chainring.

The twin bar is neat!

Don't drink and cycle. :lol:

Re: Union JacK-Raleigh Twin bar-Last Update-6/8

It's a heron?

Not a guinea fowl?...or peahen?

What does it mean?
Happen to know?
Why did Raleigh use a bird?

Re: Union JacK-Raleigh Twin bar-Last Update-6/8

One possible source for parts:
http://www.yellowjersey.org/EASTMAN.HTML
I haven't tried to buy parts, but they sell Indian-made bikes that are essentially copies of the Raleigh bikes. Quality is not necessarily the same, but it might be one possibility for fenders or tires, for example.

Re: Union JacK-Raleigh Twin bar-Last Update-6/8

just took the donor out for a ride...got caught in the rain

Take the two top bars off the Union Jack, put em on the donor bike. Voila! You got a quadruple bar! :wink:

Hmm
interesting
i dont think im up to cutting up the original union jack

i can do that later!
thats an idea!

 

[TheFlyingDingo]

Look!
A mockup!
Im in love with this bike now that i can see him built again
know whats sad?
I forgot where the seatstays are
But it looks awesome without em...too bad i cant leave em off

This was meant for a gooseneck neck thing
so ill have to mod it...it has to go on the seat-tube...the cable is too short, besides i like it there

impressive fade on the fenders

they sell these decals right?
