AND heres the logo for ....... Bike Riders... I designed this and put it on paper. Im gonna be making some back patches, tshirts and stickers with this logo. Whats a ....... bike??? Its a sweet bicycle with different parts by different bikes, put together to make one killer bike...
Tell me whatcha think of logo? Im changing out the mohawk for a spiked helmet. I thought the helmet may be more appropiate for a bicycle club. Anyone wanna join? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

very cool Bike Manny, love those white tires... your 2006 pic didnt work though, would like to see what it used to look like...
 
So.Cool.

Im definately there !!
Sign me up !
:mrgreen:


The logo, like the bike is the bomb ! I would just wonder if you
could replace the bannering that is going on around the skull
head with a cartoon version of a bicycle behind it ?
Something evil looking ?

Sort of like this logo ^^^

You could replace the two large circular banner parts with wheels and
the smaller banner secions could be apes and a sissy bar maybe ?
all drawn exagerated like as through a fish-eye lens?

A viking helmet ??

The font is PERFECT ! I love that font.....

Please dont take this as critisism, Manny ! I am an artist too
and have a boorish opinion on EVERYTHING !!
I told da Vinci Mona shouldnt have that silly little grin.........
:mrgreen:
 
RatBoy, WHY did you have to say that????? :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I love your idea of cartoony bicycle wheels on either side and the ape hangers :D Ill try to come up with something.
My idea with the two banners on either side is it was suppose to vaguely represent the letter "B". One "B" face the correct way and the other "B" is backwards... The thing is, it doesnt traslate unless explained :) Which I like.


Ill get those 2006 pics up and running soon...
 
Count me in for a shirt if you get a 3X and a patch. Great design...Kelly
 
The 07 Version of your Bike is Killer.
The Brick walls..the Monarch's, the tattered leather look..

very cool Bike.
and make sure you post up the Final decision on the T-shirt / Logo \design.

I WANT ONE!

peace,
Kev.
 
The up date is bit-chen although I favor ape hangers the whites w/ monarch really works....I NEED to know where you got the FLASK

The logo is really cool :shock: how about ...RAT ........ :mrgreen:

good to see other SO CAL ers on board 8)
 
Thanks for all the feedback, guys! Glad you guys like it.
Re: The logo. Ill definitely update it once its been finalized. And Ill start making some back patches, Tee's, etc... Im stoked about the logo, too.
Re: The flask. I got it from this vintage second-hand store. I thoroughly cleaned out the flask, but Im still hesistant to actually "use" it (for water, of course) :)

Alright! another local to socal! Can't wait for that beach cruise or pub ride to happen out here.
 
Love the bike. I prefer the apes too though. The springer makes the bike in my opinion. Nice seat and grips what kind are they and is the seat comfy?

Thanks John. I like the apes too, but I wanted to try a different look. I was even thinking about flipping those handlebars upside down for a more racey look. Something like this:

Both the seat and grips are Nirve. The grips however, I cut off the bigger chrome ends to give it a different look. The seat is comfy. Squeaks a lot, but comfy.

Electra and Nirve seats are awesome...they are very comfortable.

They might be a tad bigger than you expect though.

Best to find a LBS that sells Electra bikes and go look at one up close first.
 
I put an Electra seat on my wifes Debutante and it's very nice indeed. I just don't have any experience with the Nirve stuff.

Sometimes I think they are all getting it from the same manufacturers. There are similar products sold by the same companies with different logos on them.
 
Steve....
Thats exactly what happens...
Depending on the company, some get "B" frames,
others get different paint, but there are frame manufacturers
in china that bang zillions of them out for different companies
and the only thing that seperates them are paint and if they
might have a tiny flaw somewhere. My summer beater, which
I will post pics of as soon as my camera gets back from FLA,
is a NIRVE but I paid a very un-NIRVE-ish price for it from a
fly-by-nite distributer. The same for high dollar road bikes.
Some company named Kinesium makes almost all the aluminum
frames for all the usual manu's, Trek Etc...PAcific does for Schwinn
and NEXT and a few others....There is FIRMSTRONG who I think
also does some MaCargi stuff....

I love cheep !!! It makes it alot easier to cut and flat black a
90.00 dollar bike than a 400.00 one !!
:mrgreen:
 
Count me in for a shirt and patch too.....

I like both versions of the bike really-would love to see the apes on the second version, just for S and G's :mrgreen:
