Thanks for reading careFULLy

Now, consider u unbutton 3 buttons before u sit and u have to button them up after u stand up

You sef reason am na

But the fact is fashion is personal to some extent

First I would not even buy a suit with three buttons.. they are for pastors only! . I can manage 2. and I would be super comfortable and okay buttoning and unbuttoning.

engrhorla:
Nairalanders sha, you don't have to call something stupid to make your pont

By d way, do you know that you are supppposed to unbutton your suit if you want to sit down?
And u button up after u get up
Imagine how cumbersome and stressful it will be when u button up on 3 button suit

lol. At first i thought you said I called the person stupid. until i read it properly. really, I would not change my stance on this. I think its really stoopid to say its a no no to only make use of one button rather than 2. To me there is nothing wrong with having them both buttoned up. its a matter of convenience. I agree with you for the sitting because you need to be comfortable and having them both up does not give you that comfort. IF you call unbuttoning just 3 buttons on a piece of suit cumbersome, man, I dont know what else to say to you.

4. Buttons on Suits


It’s considered a fashion blunder to button up your suit jacket. If it’s a suit with 3 buttons, button 2 and fly one. And if it’s a 2 button suit, button up one and fly the other.

I find this very stupi.d out of other dress code rules for men. What is the other button there for if you cannot button it up. I do that and its super cool!

Update: Coated the spray paint with a clear coat spray. Its function is to protect the spray from scratches and give the spray a finished look. I have done that and I would let this sit out and dry for the next one week. As I read on some forums that it needs a while to really thicken. Anyway, I am expecting my motorized kit sometime this month and I would use that opportunity to assemble the important parts of the bike that needs assembly and leave out other parts that the kit would need.

First off, I had to clean the frame and the other parts as it sat for about 2 days after the normal spray. I just tried to make sure i took out any dust that could have been accumulated over that 48hr period. Then i applied the clear coat. It made the frame a bit shiny which i did not really like but I hope it fades out with time as the spray i got was a matt black one, I wish that the bike has that matt black look.

am also not that neat but am still better than her, all the good cloth I bought for my daughter has turn brown, including the one sent by my sister, I bought her 3 phone within 6month all spoilt, the last one was techno l7( u nw the price when it came out) am just confused.

bros marry that woman at your peril. i have an aunt who is exactly like this. they dont change.... you would suffer big time. a dirty woman is a lazy woman and a lazy woman is a procrastinator and a procrastinator does not value anything, time, money and possessions... be wise!

[color=Blue]Great project, Redcliff. I do love your attention to detail. The little, niggly bits, can really make, or break a project like this one.

Where are you based?[/color]

Hi Siena, thanks for your commmendation. I am not done with the bike yet. I would be installing a motor kit on it when i am done.

Unfortunately, I can't agree. Never had sex on the first date but I know much about the dynamics of life. What works for u may not work for another. Life is so complex that there is never a hard cast rule on anything.

you have answered all the questions that needs and needed to be answered. Case closed!!!

Long story with no moral lesson attached. It's a misconception when people say 'no knowledge is wasted', this one was -- my time too.

Lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That kingdom of darkness standing at her back, is she a air hostess? l thought they were supposed to be fair and beautiful!

after na una go dey criticize employers for wanting to choose fair ladies over black ones for a job. You are black. no matter the texture of it. :ove it and deal with it. The white folks have done that to themselves and they made you think their colour is better than yours!

Lexusgs430:
So inessence, my big fat yansh is not good for a saddle ? Why can't they design saddles for orobo yansh like ours? Are this bicycle manufactures orobo yansh haters, orobo yanshist or hate we orobo's ?

Lol.. me i dont know ooo...

Lexusgs430:
My problem with bicycles is the sore bum after a long ride.
My kids(especially my son) loves dragging me on bike trips !!!
I have put extra gel pads, but sore yansh still persists !!!

Haha thats an awkward comment.. most times it depends on what kind of bicycle saddle you have got and the kind of bum you got too. Its always not advisable to have a big butt and use the really modern saddles that are very slim and uncomfortable. Try getting saddles of street cruiser bicycles. They are super comfy, big and have alot of foam in them.

Simple case of shooting oneself on the foot.. lmao! This life eh!

Emmatdayo:

All done! errything looks pretty smooth and perfect to me right now. I am so glad i finally decided to do this myself and I am excited at what the result is turning out to be. I saw a pretty cool all black bicycle on my way out and i was impressed.

Late night post.

Fast forward, I am setting up the various parts to be sprayed. It was placed on a dryer outside. The weather is super nice. but i had to wear some long sleeved T-shirt with a hat just to prevent the sun from burning me. (yes, It does burn black folks too). Basically, I used just 2 spray cans and it seems it did a pretty good job overall. I put on over 8- 9 coats (or even more) on and I am sure it would be staying a while

NB: I already sprayed the fork for the bicycle some days before doing this.. so the fork itself basically looks Matt at the moment. but i did a touch up on it several times. to give it a thick finish.

The degreaser did an okay job but wasnt to my expectation. The decal removal process left some sticky residue and i had to take them off. This was difficult as i couldnt get petrol or any chemical that has the compounds fuel has for cleaning a gummy surface neat.. although the degreaser is meant for cleaning but its not specifically meant for adhesive as it was clearly written on the body of the container.

I also thought i could do it the hard way by rubbing the surface hard after heating the metal of the frame a bit to see where it would take me but it was super tough. In my mind i was like "ohhhh, i wish i was in nigeria, i would have just gone to buy 1 litre of fuel and "finish work". Then again i looked around the house and found nail polish. I applied it on the surface of the frame and voila!, it gradually started coming off! Was super excited as i was sure i could finish any painting work today. It took over 1hr to get it out though...

Pictures coming soon

The bike was a bit greasy though. Coupled that i wanted to take away the decals on the body of the bike. This was very hard. I tried to use a heat gun substitute (hair dryer) a heat gun would have done the job better because it produces heat waves as high as 800°c or more. But it was no where to be found as the one i have is in nigeria and i want to reduce my cost as much as possible. So i used the hair drier, faced it on the decal for about 2 to 3 mins. There were about 7 of them on the body of the bike. This made the decal a bit soft, so i used the tire lever to scratch it off. The good thing about using the tire lever tool is that it doesn't scratch the original paint off. Word of advice. Dont use knife or any sharp object as you would not like the outcome.


Nb...na wa o.. i wonder with this my fast connection, upload no dey work...

Modified: Okay.. done

Hi folks. Been a while i updated this thread. I had free time today... no work. So i decided to put some little effort on my project. I went to the do-it-urself store to get a few tools i could use to work on my bicycle. I got a gas mask and degreaser and two matt black spray paint. Yes, i finally decided to spray paint it black and do it myself for a number of factors.

1. The Matt brown i tried to paint it to was a bit expensive ranging from 70k- 105k. I wanted to go for the 70k option but i thought i should not spend that much on this project because its not really worth in the end ( not that worth it but this is not really my dream bicycle. There was no point for me to throw that money on it. Although i plan to make another one when i am done). This would have been professionally done for me but decided that i would be taking this on myself.

2. The second reason was that i would have a problem with aesthetics because being in matt brown, there would be wires i would be running through some parts of the bike when i am doing the conversion. This would not look good because it would be too conspicuous. Anyway, its black all through and brown tires with brown leather saddles and grips.

Did not really plan I was going to do the spraying today. It was very spontaneous as one thing led to the other and i found myself preping it for painting.

RIP to him.

Our Government hasn't been able to make countries accountable for the incessant murders of Nigerian citizens in their territory. Why wouldn't we take our case to God?

The Italian Ambassador should be summoned asap!
