Making your own part...

Make a stem with a pot leaf on the front plate and sell it for 120$.

Really tho a stem or sprocket is the most realistic. Do something personal on it so it's like YOUR part ya' know? Like your initials or nickname idfk.

I'm not that good but I made a decently good hub guard with a lathe.
Came out pretty good, I'm still rocking it last this summer.
I think you should go for it, someone else here made some pretty dope metal bar end Oydssey style.
Here.

shit yeah, I remember that, looked sweet man. howd it hold up?

@spenlard - Yeah, i was thinking stem/sprocket, maybe a stem because theres more room to do something different with it, like a hinge, or a wedge thing. I agree on the make it my part, but selling it for money with a pot leaf on sounds good too... :L

Holding up great.
Only thing is that the edges dented a little but nothing serious just little scuffs.

Yeah most likely.

Stem

Stem, Headset/spacers, BB Cones, barends.

A stem would be a great thing to create from scratch, as well as a sprocket. It's an opportunity to think outside the box, forget about the whole top load/ front load thing, if you want, and start new.

Make my sprocket and send one to me. Although I need to do a little more work.

sprocket in the shape of a spiral to fuck everyone's mind as you ride by haha

You should make me a sprocket, that would be rad :3

Dude make the sprocket out of 4130 Chromoly, that would be the dopest thing ever.
If you make one in 27 or 28 tooth and I approve I swear to my left testicle I'll buy it off you.

4130 boltdrive heat treated.
I will buy that.

thats what im thinking, already been thinking of some crazy ideas, since there doesnt have to be a market for it, it can be whatever.

make a topload stem that is split like the subrosa but a pinch bolt like the odyssey lincoln.

the stems top cap is in two peaces and part of the stem too. but make the clamping system like how the odyssey mono lever clamps onto bars. with a hinge and everything.

Pedals might be a good idea.
