Sattelfest Kassel 2010 - I was there

Yesterday was the 16th and the Sattelfest blocked the road between Kassel and Hann Wolfsanger. Munden.

5 representatives of the North Hessian Bonanza cyclists met at 11am at the Villa Master and the madness began, at least in my view.

The first ride with my newly renovated Chopper designed initially quite loose, well up on my ass already at the starting point, massaged by the timber-saddle, bleated.

Spoked wheels and next - Bonanza wheel

Finally, I now get the matching spoke at a good price (thanks to "wool" from our spinning group) and could now move on.

Both wheels are now re-laced with the highly polished rim and old scars, adjusted and ready for installation.

Bonanza wheel - Assembly begins

So slowly now begins the installation of the project Bonanza wheel. Even though I have the brake cables in white and the spokes of the wheels are missing so I can not wait to go and now it looks even a bit more to the bicycle.

The bearing shells and all other visible parts of the tax rate was polished to a mirror finish and fitted and the fork is fitted with fake feathers somehow it also looks classy.

Bonanza wheel - frame and leather saddle

After I was able to pick up the finished painted frame from the paint shop last week and was surprised by the great work now if it was yesterday and I also received the new padded saddle from the main car upholstery wool in Kassel.

The friendly Autosattler "wool" has done a great job. The seat is now covered in leather and lined very easily and firmly. The imitated the original seams are now sold at my request with orange thread. I think this single piece will be an eye-catcher on my Chopper.

Bonanza wheel - Interim Report and chain guard

Kettenschutz vorher und nachher Long time no reports to my Chopper and therefore now even a short intermediate state.

The chain guard or chain case is now back also. He was not just special chrome plated. If it is dull over time or otherwise changes his negative I can always still original paint in orange again. So far it seems to definitely really smart I think.
