    Spraying a bike

    :) It was resprayed 3yrs ago now, I did not like the purple shade! V-brakes have been good for me. Yes, best to ask if they have done bikes before, they should be taping up all the threads etc., I kept finding shot rattling and coming out of frame for a cpl days....

    Spraying a bike

    I got my 20+ yr old Halfords Apollo shot blasted and sprayed dark grey for £60 by a local Glasgow company, they did the frame and forks (which I bent shortly afterwards in a crash and had to bin), did a pretty good job too! I'd left one of the plastic routing guides for cables under the bracket...

    It's 4.5kg I could do without carrying too but not so bad in a back pack, needs must when there are so many thieving b@stards out there....even a locked Hailong can be kicked off in seconds unless you go to town with straps and locks around it

    "How to protect your e-bike after huge spike in thefts"

    If the dude was daft enough to lock it using quick release front wheel and leave the battery on then...... I always have a back pack on bike and take my battery with me, an alarm hidden under the seat that is awkward to get to might also have been enough to deter villain as they are bloody loud

    "We save ebikes from landfill"

    We want to see more links here to other's embarrassing 1990s band footage!! Here's the vintage strat in action when it was still a baby in 1991. This gig was a bit of a shambIes and we were all a bit worse for wear (esp singer who decided to go a sit-down), to put it mildly, lots of shenanigans...

    "We save ebikes from landfill"

    Totally agree and that comes with practice and how you do the mix. I spend a lot of time with the my AT M50s on as they are flat response studio cans and you can hear things in the stereo image that you've never heard on you monitors, even listening to records from 30yrs ago you pick up things...

    Well for sure that's me playing the chibson through Amplitude. I can post the 'solo' track but it's better hidden in mix. ;-) Like I said this is a backdrop to some video game footage editing with my son ;-) Nothing more. You can record a jet plane taking off with a SM-58. I've mic'ed up drum...

    "We save ebikes from landfill"

    Very nice, looks pretty custom, guess that's worth a few bob, sounds like you have quite a collection! I couldn't play that one drunk though unless there are fret marks on side of neck ;-) Sorry you're thinking of selling them.

    "We save ebikes from landfill"

    Not seen one of these in a LONG time, very nice, I was always impressed just how bloody big they were! We demand some videos or audio links at very least a pic of the axe(s) in question... I quite recently digitised old school VHS camcorder footage from a gig in early '90s and put on YT, it's...
