My BMX is finished and I am so in love with it! I was riding it all weekend! I have even learn how to ride down stairs and how to bunny hop! Thanks Ben for teaching me and for putting up with me being an impatient bitch!! :) hehe

I would also like to say a huge thanks to everyone that helped me with this project! Ben (of course), Cam from Cycle Science for getting me all the sweet purple Colony parts and for putting it all together for me! Also big thanks to Bruce for the sick paint job! Couldn’t have done it without you guys!!

I am still thinking about getting the purple Colony wheels but they are a rather large investment so they may have to wait until after America.

As my last post states I had my 21st party of the weekend and I got lots of amazing gifts from all my amazing friends and wonderful family!!

But there was something that my boyfriend Ben Silcock did for me that was beyond awesome! He got a whole heap of the parts I wanted for my BMX and got it put together!

I am so stoked about it because I didn’t think I could afford to get all of this done before our trip to America!

Thank you Benny for being so awesome and generous! I love you! :) …..Hehe also thank you Andre and Bonnie Simon for buying me the Colony Sprocket

I can’t wait to get a seat and some wheels so I can actually ride it! ….. (Taryn not long till we will have our BMX Gang!!) :)


Donatello Gets His Colour

Today I spent the afternoon at Bruce’s place doing the last bit of sanding on my bike to get it ready to be painted! My nails and skin on my hands are completely ruined but I don’t even care because the paint job looks awesome! Huge thanks to Bruce for doing such a fantastic job! I am soooo happy with it! :)

The colour getting mixed!

It took quite a few coats of paint to get the bike totally covered and looking perfect! Apparently the paint I picked was rather thin!

A wee video of Bruce painting my handle bars!

Watching! :)

The bike got a final gloss coat to give it an awesome shine!

Next up is the expensive part! Getting all my purple parts for the bike! I am so excited though, it is all coming along brilliantly! :)

Ben finally picked a colour for his bike. Within the space of a few days he has gone from wanting grey to silver to orange to blue to finally deciding on purple! It is a sweet colour! It’s called Morpheus.

Project Donatello – The BMX

So I have put a wee plan together on what I want to do for the bike to give you all an idea on what the final product will look like! I have also decided that because I can’t afford to do up a car I am going to invest a bit more into the bike and use it to ride to work on!

I have also given this project a name – taking it back old school cartoon style! It’s called Donatello from the Teenage Ninja Turtles!
