“It’s time to take our power away from the oil companies and the car companies and the greedheads who run them. We’re going to get smart and say no. Now is the time for a whole movement that says no. No gas. No foreign oil. No cars. No paint. No gears. No logos. No lycra. No bullshit.”
The Nada Revolution has begun, and the SoftSpot has joined. Nada bikes are a fresh take on the cycling culture coming from Project M and Maverick founder, John Bielenberg. An unpainted steel single-speed bike frame was donated to build up and custy out. Now, all you fixie enthusiasts can catch a glimpse of how Nada gets down…here’s a lil bit of my process thus far…
We designed a technique for hanging the bike frame so that we could work on it. (wooden dowel and 2 chairs=good design.) That’s Jonny washing the frame.
That’s me burnishing on some custom transfers.
Close up of custy transfers. I really need a mani.
I decided to keep the frame in it’s raw state and put a few coats of clear acrylic paint to keep it in good condition.
Jonny acting like spray paint is a deadly weapon.
A lil R&R in between paint coats.
After the long hard day of work, the frame looks great and now it’s off to get even more hooked up. Nice guy Ethan at Refried Cycles is helping me with putting the pieces together so that this thing can roll. Hopefully, by the end of the week…
Now enjoy this video…
