The Special bit...

This is, without a doubt, the most special bit I have on my bike.
I made this a while ago, dedicated to my late uncle, J. L.
I cut a good quality aluminum stripe, the flame design was drawn by hand, mirrored and inverted for the left/right sides to be symmetrical.
Then the dificult part begun. This little piece was all made by hand. And I mean "oldschool by hand".
It was entirely hand cut, hand filed, hand sanded and hand polished by myself.
No, it's not perfect like CNC machines do, but that's why it's called "hand made".
R.I.P, Jonny, thanks for being a part of my life.
