Le Menace
7 September 2010 - # 18 Le Menace, Steve France 307 points, 13st at the COTY 2010Pourquoi le nom "la menace"?
"L'esprit de ce vélo est de s'encastrer dans la machine et de faire corps avec elle ;comme un Dragster. Quand j'ai montré le dessin final à ma sister elle m'a dit "oh! la menace". Et je pense qu'elle a du faire allusion à mes parties intimes!!
Il a été fait sur mesure à ma taille donc pas de problème pour ma descendance
!!! Pour que les lignes et les cotes soient, parfaites par rapport au dessin originel, je l'ai dessiné avec le logiciel solidwork. Je voulais avant tout des lignes les plus fidèles au dessin. Le cadre a été réalisé en 6 heures avec des tubes de 30mm de diamètre.Je voulais que le vélo ne soit pas trop chargé, c'est pour cela que je ne voulais pas de shifter trop gros . Il fallait avant tout remarquer la ligne du cadre. Toutes les soudures furentt poncées, meulées et lissées pour ne pas les remarquer. Puis la peinture a été réalisée par Drykce, un maître en la matière que je remercie; environ une quinzaine de couches au total et des heures de ponçage pour avoir un rendu noir brillant et lisse comme un miroir. Pour les pièces : fourche springer us chopper, jante 100mm arrière us chopper et 65 mm à l'avant, guidon et moyeu avant us chopper. Le moyeu arrière nexus 8 qui a aussi été peint.
Pneu thick brick flanc blanc .
Chaine demi maillon et plateau inox builder brothers coupé au laser. C'est une pièce que j'ai fait faire en nombre pour tous les membres de mon club. Il avoisine les 3m et malgré ça taille il se conduit très bien ( si on n'est pas trop gros lol !!! ) et va très vite s'il le faut."

English version:
Why the name " La Menace "?
The spirit of this bike is to fit in the machine and to make body with it; as a Dragster.
When I showed the final drawing to my sister she said to me " oh! la Menance (Oh!Threaten it) ".
And I think that she refers to my intimate parts!! lol
It fitted like a glove in my size thus no problem for my descent lol!!!
So that lines and quotations are perfected with regard to the original drawing, I drew it with the solidwork software. I wanted above all lines the most faithful to the drawing. The frame was realized in 6 hours with tubes of 30mm of diameter.
I wanted that this bike is not too much over ornated, it is for it that I did not want a too big shifter. It was above all necessary to notice the line of the frame. All the welds were sanded and smoothed not to notice them. Then the paint was realized by Drykce, master on the subject whom I thank; approximately about fifteen layers all in all and hours of sanding to have a black depiction brilliant and smooth as a mirror.
For parts: fork springer US chopper, Back wheel rim 100mm US chopper and 65 mm in front, handlebars and front hub US chopper
The back hub nexus 8 which was also painted. Thick brick tire white side. Half link and stainless tray builder brothers cut in the laser chaine. It is the part which I made in number for all the members of my club.It measures almost 3m and in spite of that size you can drive it very well (if you are not too big lol!!!) and go very fast if needed.
