Hola!
Does anyone know where to get a (Rocky the Flying Squirrel) leather aviator hat&goggles to wear when "planing" on my Bleriot?
Note; hilarious relationship between Bleriot and "Planing" was pointed out by a prominent listmember a few months back. Kudos! It still cracks me up!

Huzzah! Huzzah!
"Roll bar" behind Brooks Banana? 5 speed "emascultor" Hurst -type rear derailer shifter on top tube? I think ""Rat Fink" is still copyrighted, but "Rangutan" is better. GREAT
Is that coffee ready yet?

I would call it the "Rivendell 'Rangutan".
Brooks banana seat, Nitto Ape-Hangers, paint it Orangutan Rust (like their coats), and use Cocoanut husk to twine the bar tape/bamboo grips.
The vine-like stays would finish off the jungle motif along with an Orangutan Headbadge and DT label of the word "'Rangutan" with a vine running throughout the word, and a 'tan swinging on the end of the vine- a la Bleriot with the plane and its trail.
(DT design could alternatively be a dust trail through the name, with the bike at one end with Grant and Orangutan riding in the banana seat - a la Bleriot design with plane and trail.)
The name would also porvide an easy way to circumvent any TM's or R's or copyrights, as
I think the Rivfolks could emerge from the naming meeting, satisfied that the term "'Rangutan" is not used anywhere else for anything, worldwide.
Seriously, this is a great looking bike, be sure to post pics of the build!! I wonder what the name really is? I like that green.
