Hello all, this is my first post! I would like to get into the custom parts business as a side job. My question is: if you could have a custom part on your rig, what would it be, but not a structural part. I am just looking for ideas, to see if something sparks. Could be a custom headset cap or bar ends with your team logo or custom shapes (3D). Maybe mounting brackets for something, custom badge up front, 3D graphics (resin, alloy, etc) even a custom lever for your dropper. Just think wild and one-off. I am not really looking for mass production but ideas that would set your bike off from the rest in function or form. I am looking for ideas that could be produced in a small shop (garage). Post up your ideas and if you would buy it if the cost was reasonable. Quality would be first priority.

Thanks, Jeremiah

Ha Ha. I've seen some grey's and red's too! Oh wait, you said mud... I was thinking baby diapers! Seriously though, how bout some 3D mud stickers so your ride is always dirty, even when you accidentally hit that puddle of clean water?

bigburd, do you want custom levers for coolness or some function that you don't currently have? Rotors would be cool, but there is a structural element that I don't want to get into... yet.

Mostly for coolness really , though I suppose you could make them a more ergonomic shape or perhaps increase leverage for more power ?

Custom dropper post remote. I disliked the feel of my stock KS one so I used my front gear shifter minus springs and a lever.
