Well thanx I guess (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) Here's what I do to keep the butt the correct size to fit the lil Recaro seat. Believe it or not (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) part of my day job is to ride prototype bikes, this is me on a 29" wheeled full suspension mountain bike.

Awesome ! You ride? That's so cool! I'm right now going to hit the road with the team at school, but come this summer it's going to be mountain (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif) .

How do you like that 29 inch mtn bike? I've really wondered about those, seems like a cool idea. Just a guess but do you work for gary fisher?

Awesome thread, awesome pic! keep it coming (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

Now just how in the hell do I get a job like that. I ride 21 miles one way to go to work each day and don't get paid nothing for it (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif)

I have a custom vintage steel roadie being finished right now. Frame just got finished painting and I figure I will let the shop put the whole thing back together. Really wanted it in time for my club ride the morning before Paris Roubaix.

29 definetly has its merits, more data available here. Below is another prototype and the name of the company I work at is written on the down tube.

03/08/06 Test fit front bumper for gaps, lots of sanding work done to get gaps right, gaps are looking really good especially since this is a carbon fiber hood, more sanding/fitting work to be done, want gaps perfect. Right side headlight cover test fit, ..............................look ma no eyebrows (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Thanks.

Bracket is mild steel, and the bumper is a one off. Go back to the very first post of this thread & you will see the bumper. The custom shape, done by the PO, while it looks great its actually a foam filler sanded to shape, then a thin layer of bondo, then painted. Well it turned out like caca when painted a lighter color, cuz the bondo cracks like mad. I had a local carbon fiber specialist make a mold of the bumper and then duplicated it in fiberglass, its been a e$$pencive process, and I prolly would not do it again. People have asked if I would be interested in selling them...........I dunno?.

been following this thread for a bit - your car is awesome! The no-eyebrow idea looks pretty slick in the closed position - I like it since those pieces just never seem to line up nicely on the seams with those rubber mounts. I bolted mine in so I could get them to line up and stay. Look forward to seeing the finished product!
