Title: Mod Options
Post by: eltristo on May 22, 2008, 10:29:24 AM
So, the TristoBike has a small issue with the beer tray and tail light.  Easily fixed.  But should it be fixed?  I can pretty easily parlay this into a new piece.  So the options:

JB it and forget it
Sassy new carbon number
Partial tail chop with different sassy carbon number
full tail chop
full tail chop and chop pretty (but long) cans to match

They all sound so appealing.  Don't feel like making a poll, just looking for opinionations.

sassy new CF unit. [thumbsup]

I'd say chop tail and cans, but you're commuting... fender=good

Depends on on how bad you want to be / look.  I mean bad in a good way.

That's what I would do, but it's up to your tastes...

hmmm.  the issue seems to be:

I probably won't be using the bike to commute as much in the future, so rain is less of an issue.  Also, the sassy carbon number is increasingly difficult (and expensive) to find.  This makes the tail chop seem like an okay option.  But I still have a practical side, and that side says 'no way!'

Pondering continues.

Oh, and for Mac, the answer is Superbad! [cheeky]

That is still in the plan, but I need the SSS.

it could still work w/o...

keep the cans near the edge of the rim, find a way to wire plate lights into the guard...
