Custom Santa Cruz V10C From The Rapid Wrench
Mon 1st Feb, 2016 @ 9:30 pm
Introducing The Rapid Wrench Melbourne Santa Cruz V10C promo bike.
The Rapid Wrench is a mobile bicycle mechanic based in Melbourne, Australia
Michael Light owns and runs a mobile bike mechanic business within Melbourne, The Rapid Wrench, and what better way to turn heads than with this amazing fully custom bike. This build started as a fun paint job, but ended with a full dosage of custom graphics and full parts matching to become a show bike. The whole process took 3-4 months. As an extra bit of history, this bike used to belong to Nathan Rennie in his race season.
Michael’s Santa Cruz V10C has been customised to the max – so bling!
After stripping and sanding the frame, Magneto Industries took care of the graphics for the frame, forks, shock, mud guard, and wheels. Phillip Buckman took care of the painting and clear-coated it after the graphics were applied. Michael had KustomCaps.com make a custom laser-etched headset cap with business graphics. He polished the Saint cranks himself and the brakes were rebuilt with fresh seals (6 years old now) and treated to color coding. EightyOneSpices went out of their way big time to match up the correct sizing and colors for the CarboCage. TiBike hooked him up with 30 colored titanium bolts, while 80HD supplied the bling 2-piece crown/steerer in purple. Lusty Industries supplied the newer style square head tube badge. The Mucky Nutz mud-guard and Loaded Precision pedals were supplied by Pushie Enterprises, and a titanium anodized spring thanks to Tornado Titanium.
Michael’s attention to detail is praiseworthy; check out those matching jockey wheels and rotor bolts.
