Living down here with All the Arsenic coming out of the ground from mining, if I was going to get infected would have happened Long ago now lol! ;-)

Jelly babies. Legend. When I first bonked a year ago (in the dark side of cycling...) all I could picture was jelly babies hovering in front of me, surreal experience

Love the cotic soul, perhaps a tad ott for my, but I love the fact you've gone bling. Seriously considering building one myself, think I've pretty much decided onit, but as a student I have a long, long, long wait A, ahem, road bike must come first as well, and that's a long wait as well

Keep blinging! Enjoy riding cornwall, it's where it all began for me many years ago

Haha! Jelly babies should be the inspiration behind the multi coloured bolts!! There all pretty much the same as the jelly babies come in! :-D
I am aware for Most its completely WAY ott! But, I really don't care haha! Its what I enjoy! is a Little bit of Me, Is nice to know there Certainly isn't another soul out there like it too! :-D I've my BikeTArting standards to withold after all! :-D:-D:-D

It is way ott, but who cares, if you like it that's what matters. My single speed is way over the top in colour, in fact, it might even meet your disco standards....

Adonized orange spacers for the free wheel, mmmm.

allthegearnoidea

That Is Awesome!!!
Like I said, I know its Way ott but if I wanted to conform to expectation I ride a clitoris bike (specialised) with shimano spd's and schwalbe tyres! :-P ;-) :-D :-D
Hahaha!
I got given a load of frames a while back from a friend, most junk but kept a couple, built a singlespeed out of one, just for school run and around the village use, is a daewoo genius frame, but sat on my 120mm bombers actually feels Really good! Haha! Only thing I had to buy for it was a bb! Got a load of old knackered cassettes for plastic spacers lol! - got fed up with the soul getting knocked over at school by careless parents! Funnily, the SS hasn't been knocked at school yet its left in the Same place! ;-) but is almost the Total contrast to the soul!!

Other than the rainbow spole nipples (they used to be on the soul) its completely Blingless! :-D

mrlee

bling of the highest order. love it.

if joseph had a bike to collect his dreamcoat from the dry cleaners, this would be it

Well I think I have got to the point where I am finished with the tarting of the Soul!
Final hand full of bolts arrived today so have been out and fitted them!

Stem before

Stem after


front brake half way there

not a bad effort but much better now!


looking at the bike, there's only the stem top cap bolt, saddle rail clamp and fork travel adjust that haven't seen the shiny treatment but I think they are safe!
Am pretty sure the bikes as done as its going to be now, and can't wait to get back out on it, (just had the snip) have been tinkering with the singlespeed too so may put up a thread for that too!

Can't thank the guys at GWR-fasteners enough, fantastic service and keeping a bike tart happy!
