So I may end up cutting that up and improvising something to hold it.

The bf's been building me a kayak, so he's got long thin scrap pieces of marine grade plywood and spare fiberglass.... So I may take some of that, cut out some fenders & see if I can glass them in a curve & make them red... If the bike looked a bit more classic (erm, wasn't covered in flame stickers & red), I'd love to have the natural wood look... Maybe I can stain it sort of a dark mahogany or cherry color?


7 rider - The DC craigslist provides much amusement value at least.
Very cool. DH built a cedar strip canoe. It is very pretty and floats too. When he took it out on its maiden voyage somone on shore commented to me that he liked and and wondered who the manufacturer was. I proudlly stated my husband let me see if I can find a picture. He had to bend the wood for the bow and stern. Have fun making the fenders.
