Well the Mrs has sorted the sewing machine and is currently stitching away. I wanted to do it, but I really can't be done with all the tutting that I'd get from her! Lol
She done a fair bit of sewing but this is the first time she has done anything like this.
She has made some orange piping from some material and electrical wire.
The next bit looks really fiddly. I've be sent into the lounge and I'm not allowed to take photos!
Judging by the huffing and tutting coming from the dining room, the piping may not get used lol

Bike and saddle together
So that's finished then? Er, not quite! I want to put some decals on it. I was thinking of "loopybike" across the back of the saddle (on the tube).
I also go by the name "DC66", so I'd like that somewhere too. Maybe on the back of the filled in disc under the seat post.
I'm off to Hobby craft to see what letter stickers they have.

I couldn't find any letters in orange in the shops so I ordered some from ebay. They arrived today, so as soon as I got home I put them on.
Definitely a job to do with the reading glasses on!
So that's it finished. Two days before the show. Happy days!
Wish me luck in the show, I've never entered any of my builds in a show before. (I have had one featured in a magazine before which was cool)
I'm a bit aprehensive about the show, I know this bike is a bit "marmite"

Super workmanship.
Have you considered extending the orange inside the tubes theme to the open ends of the handlebars?
