444: Colinus' Xtracycle























Hi, here is my Xtra, hope you enjoy them and publish to the blog!

- the snapdeck has eight leds inserted in the thickness, four red on the rear and four oranges on the sides, with 4 minutes standby function
- the snapdeck is rubber coated for non-slip loadings
- the two v-racks are wrapped with old inner tubes

And... I ride in Switzerland, Geneva (Europe), where there is not soooo mutch Xtracycles! For now I've only seen the #329 in the fields near my house.

A lot of fun, and my car looks terrified!

Have a sweet ride!

    Hi!
    For all who are interested by the snapdeck leds:
    I plan to make a detailled instructable (www.instructables.com) about this but not mutch time for the momment. So here is some info:
    - it runs from my shimano alfine front dynamo hub
    - the power and standby function is provided from my supernova E3 front light (http://www.supernova-lights.com/shop/index.php?cPath=56_65_69)
    - and a lot of fine woodworking to correctly insert the leds.

    I'll notify here when the instructable will be online.
    Thanks a lot!

    Hello to Genf,

    I'm from Austria and I wonder how you managed to make black v-racks...
