"The wheels came back from their blasting treatment just in time to get fitted with some chunky rubbers.\n\nThe Karoo 3 by Metzeler, a tough looking tire that delivers on the black top and on the dirt.\n\nNext up, I kept hammering away at the top end of the bike. I reworked some bar raisers to match Saxon’s rendering, blasted more alloy parts to bring that raw look to life.\n\nI shaped and cut an aluminum front fender, wide enough for the wheel, but short enough to no stand out too much.\n\nThe bike was now starting to look a lot different and you could already see the new design ideas take place.\n\nThe next few steps step are very important; proportion, style, material, shape and precision are everything you need to focus on when you start moking-up a new component for a build.\n\nI was trying to found the best way to shape the head light unit and I wanted to display a twin light set up that was out of the ordinary. This was a trial and error processes, but came away with the right idea in the end. More on this in the next Diary entry.\n\nWords by Jeremy Tagand."
