Seem to be missing a link or two on some...

Can we scale those pictures up and make some analysis in Linkage?

I made a formal request, now we wait. I mean if G. Bush hits you up for info you gotta send it right?

 

[Westy]

Is there a rootbeer version?

 

[Sandwich]

I really like the all black one.

 

[amishmatt]

It's like choosing between Trump and Clinton.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

Well, you get what you pay for.

And the logo looks like it was done by a high school student.

 

[mykel]

Looks flexy...

 

[4130biker]

That black one is basically my design but with some red graphics.

In all seriousness, the face is a massive turnoff. I'd ship it with a paper bag to put over the headtube.

SHIT JUST GOT REAL

Made a few slight adjustments

Brian,
Those entries all look horrible. This is your brand here. Pay for a professional.

Because pros work for paychecks not coupons for bike frames.

Correction, Up to a 100% discount on a frame. No guarantee that he doesn't give you less.

Edit: And before the self proclaimed Bike Jesus yells at me, I know that it is dependent upon the level of professionalism and effort put forth. Which totally makes sense, I took my job even though they have a written clause in my employment contract that they can vary my salary on a project basis depending upon how much time and effort someone with no experience in my field thinks I spent on that project.

And yeah, I may not have designed every race car to ever win a race, but I do design work on other stuff so its kinda relevant.

Try paying the rent with "a 100% discount on a frame".

Last I heard Adobe will allow designers to pay with pizza coupons to purchase the yearly rent on their software license fees.

did you happen to stay at a holiday inn express last night?

Oh cool, that's good to know.

Not to change the subject, but I've got some prime Kansas beach front property for sale. I can make you a helluva deal on it.

 

[lolWes]

Nahh, but earlier this year I did some design work for them that should be rolling out in most of their hotel locations by the end of next year. Still, if anyone is chopped in half by a blue fin ceiling feature don't call me crying.

I'm allergic to saltwater, kind of a bitch since I'm allergic to my own tears. See previous comment about being uncaring over people dying.

 

[johnbryanpeters]

Is it Monday yet?

 

[Westy]

Made a few slight adjustments

The linkage design seems to have been greatly improved

Put a hole where the mouth is for a place where you can store gummy dicks.

Or just shoot loads of grease in there.

Did you see the original paint scheme the professional did for him? It was somehow worse than these turds.

Hate to say it, but as long as they have that stupid scream face thing on the headtube, they'll always look like Walmart crap. Headtube badges matter folks.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

Headtube badges matter folks.

Back in days of brazed and lugged steel bikes, well before welded aluminum mountain bikes were mass produced, no self-respecting frame builder would sell a frame without putting some serious effort into the headtube badge.

Jesus... how old are you?

I dunno, quit counting after forty.

Yeah, I remember when aluminum was the harsh, stiff ride only racers could hack.

In hardtails it still is.

You can just do even worse with carbon.

My hardtail is crabon, 20 miles of single track is about what I can handle in a day.

Who do you guess has two thumbs and needs one of those?

@Tantrum Cycles ?








happy to make you one . . . pm me your address. (it's just cheap aluminum and sharpie held on with double sided tape...)

Try paying the rent with "a 100% discount on a frame".

"up to" which could mean from -∞ to 100%

When I was in elementary school a classmate one a contest where he thought he was going to get every GI Joe action figure made. In fact he won a poster of every figure. Kid was fucking crushed. Some part of my hopes he is somewhere mass murdering toy executives.

How do you prevent the aluminum from getting scratched?

Didn't one of the regular Monkeys buy a laser engraver? Would be perfect for such a thing.

 

[AngryMetalsmith]

I wish I had pics of the two sterling and gold HT badges I made. One was co designed with a tattoo artist that incorporated the Eye of Horace for a birthday gift for a rider who needed a little watching over. And the other one was a mountain scape for my Dad's bike.

Thanks a bunch for the offer. If that's all it is, I think I can just do it. What did you use for the AL sheet?

 

[Sandwich]

It better be 7075 and not 6061, that has no place on a dh bike.
