Love the BMX

Very nice job on the chocolate BMX cant believe you got it so neat on the welds and join to bottom bracket.
Isn’t the chain pin on back to front? 🙂

Cheers

i like the idea of the bike mate… well done on giving this a go.

what i would say is. try using a genuine digital wrap vinyl "laminated".
you wont be stretching and pushing the vinyl to the limits but knowing what these bikes go through, through personal experience, ide advice a good cast vinyl and the regular digitals dont cut it in my opinion for this sort of thing.

most importantly, you MUST charge properly. forget, "yeh that sounds a fair price, and if i get volume, then all the better" forget it… charge accordingly. KIDS pay £100 for the right pair of training shoes that go in the bin or out of fsahion in a month….
having their BMX, Mountain Bike, Skate Board, Scooter etc customised to the max… and you might have a nice little earning sideline to your sign business. but most importantly, do it right from the start… by that i mean the wrap vinyl laminated. word does get round with kids, if not by mouth then by bebo and phone text. sting them once and you will regret it. b that i mean. unlaminated will get foot wearing/hand the images, grime will fade prints fast as will the amount of time they clean their bikes.
anyway, i could go on… but if you can dedicate the time to wrapping bikes and promoting it then go for it.

anyway… im babbling now.
thanks for taking the time to post your work.

rob the "split link" is the join in the chain, the sliding clip should have the open end facing the other way
