I stripped several pounds of add ons off the vintage gem I discovered over the weekend. Like McLovin says.....makes me feel young again!
My guesstimate of weight is 60lbs

It is a Nicolai Nucleon DH from 01/02. All handbuilt. In the center of the pivot there is a Rohloff speed hub which provides 14 gears. There is little to no pedal induced feedback, but it does weight near 60 pounds. The 13lb Monster T doesn’t help.What is that thing?? Is there a chainsaw built into it?
Rohloffs are dreamy, what's that hanging on the rear seat tube under the saddle?It is a Nicolai Nucleon DH from 01/02. All handbuilt.

Not quite sure, but to be honest it pedals just like my Carbon Santa Cruz Nomad did, but this has no bob. It also has an uninterrupted seat tube,Rohloffs are dreamy, what's that hanging on the rear seat tube under the saddle?
I think it's the rear shock gas reservoir.Rohloffs are dreamy, what's that hanging on the rear seat tube under the saddle?
Yes, those are his handlebars as well! The cylinder off the back is the reservoir for the Avalanche shock @qclabratAre those the ever elusive BMW shin burger pedals and bars that doc built from Brooklyn Machine Works?
So my frame is getting kind of nicked up and looking bad. I found a paint that closely matches and I taped it off and spray painted it so now it's two tone.
I like how it came out, the bike looks 90% better. NOW, I got this clear tape like stuff for cars, it's 5" wide and about 5 ' long. It's a protective tape.
I seem to remember trying it on my car once and I didn't like it because it got air bubbles and was difficult to apply, kind of stiff. and looked like crap.
I know if I do this on my bike it has to go on right the first time, or it will pull off my new paint if I try and reposition it. Has anybody had any luck with a
protective tape like this? Maybe I should buy something new instead of trying to use this stiff stuff I already have.
I used to work for a vinyl sign shop and we would lightly spray soapy water before applying the material then squeegee it down. If there were any small bubbles we would carefully pop them with a new xacto blade. I would test it somewhere first though, the adhesive on the stuff you have might not be as waterproof as what we had.So my frame is getting kind of nicked up and looking bad.

Doublewides! Primo conditionDon’t part that gem! Are those 24 Doublewides, or Arrows?
Helicopter tape?i picked up a roll of 3m paint protection film for the chain and seat stays on my stache (to avoid rubbing the paint off with my heels), went on nice and easy and no air bubbles, there is a nack to it tho to keep air bubbles out.
