I surely did not want to buy a "Nut-Insert Tool (Nut Rivet Tool)", so I held out from buying one for way way too long.
This week, I finally found someone who had the tool and was willing to loan it to me to properly mount my laminated down-tube fender as Folk Art. Fastened up snuggly and was thoroughly enjoyable to create as functional art. This bicycle build has been in the Twilight Zone thus far.
I appreciate all the inspiration here at the CABE, Thanks for sharing!
Okay Nashman, just because that Hobo posted an image of Hitchcock on a bicycle....I'll do Yo'all a solid and share one more finished component as Folk Art.
I finally configured and wired-up a 12mm square micro "tactile" type switch for my tandem STYLUS Pen lighting system installed into the handlebars for my leather grips boasting & illuminating amber glass beads. The accessory turned out to be neat and slick, and is hella bright at100 lumens each pen. I especially like how the lights themselves house the batteries and everything wires up internally, easily....incognito!
Salvaged the micro switch from a worn out Petzel headlamp. If you look closely on the handlebar you can see it mounted utilizing E6000 glue and copper wire.
Thanks for your request to see more. As a creativity project this build has been a major time-suck, involving way too much heavy mental. Like I don't have a manual.
No new hardware this week, but I did get my introductory materials from joining the Veteran-Cycle Club in England, and they arrived quickly. The newsletter and magazine are well done and very interesting. Looks like it's going to be fun.
Finished cleaning/servicing/partially repainting/respoking the 1950 Swiss Army bike I got from a fellow caber. Just waiting on the trapezoid bag I ordered from Switzerland.
