Hi, why is the fork disassembled?
Mine is already white

Well, I am back at home, but I don't collect the frame, fork and handlebar until Thursday or Friday. I promise that, as soon as I have them, I'll post some pictures before mounting the bike. Then I'll spend the weekend mounting the bike and I will post more pictures of the complete bike.

Hi, why is the fork disassembled?

It was easier to sand down, I was curious to disassemble a fork and besides, it´s gotta be serviced anyway... There´s one pic of it put back together and on the bike @ the link.

[upupandaway]

Be patient my friends

I have just got back from the workshop where the pieces have been painted, and guess?........ the person who has made the job wasn't there :madman: . He has had to leave for personal reasons. The only thing I could collect is the handlebar. Nobody knows where the frame and fork are stored :madmax:
So I can show you the painted handlebar, but we have to wait till next week (again) to see the frame and fork.

Well, the handlebar is a Ritchey WCS Rizer Mountain, 20mm rise and 25.4. As you know, Ritchey doesn't have this handlebar in white color, only in black. The handlebars they have in white are the 31.8 models.
So this is the unique, exclusive white Ritchey handlebar in 25.4. Besides that, all the logos are blue to match the components of the bike.
Originally it weighted 221 grams. Now it only weights 7 grams more.
Here you can see it.

Wow!

If that was the final result of the handlebar I can't wait anymore to see the frame & fork!

Hey, Isurus, I think there is a Mojo Nuclear Pesto that has to be shown in this forum :thumbsup:

Vinyl design

Thanks for all the info Alpinibis.

I am in the process of designing a custom look to my ibis mojo sl also with vinyl. I just can't do the full paint job after the budget broke on the parts!

Where did you get your decals? Who did you order them from?

I have been looking for a good company nearby but not much luck. Can you give me some direction?

I have done some rough drafts with photoshop....just some ideas.

Tell me what you think?

 

[alpinibis]

I got the original logos directly from Ibis, Scot Nicol sent them to me by e-mail. Then I made some modifications with Photoshop and I took them (burnt in a CD) to a decal shop where I live.
Sorry but I can't give you any direction where you can take your drafts. Maybe you can search in ebay and Google something as "custom vinyl decals". You can find someone you can send your drafts by e-mail. Make sure that they work with good quality vinyl, and as thin as possible.
Third picture looks good. Upper part of the horizontal tube and bottom part of the down tube in white looks good.
Good luck.

Hey Alpinibis, just to show you my interest in your post, this is the first message ive posted on MTBR. Yea im a slacker on posting, but you gotta tell us whats happening man. It looked like it was a definite winner.

 

[JokerBoy]

I think alpinibis forgot this post...as we have not seen any new pics

 

[alpinibis]

Hey, sorry for the delay, but I am involved in another new project

Here are some pictures of the Pace. The first one is how the fork was before painting.

 

[alpinibis]

More.

Tomorrow, if I have time, I'll post pictures of the frame.

 

[upupandaway]

Nice. :thumbsup:

 

[Pelly_NH]

Looks great so far...although I cringe just thinking about how that will all look after the first season. Rock chips and scratches would give me nightmares...

 

[liam2051]

Looks very nice mate, should look very interesting all built up!

Not to be a picky a$$hole but the Pace logos arent level especially the right one in the photo
