I am very proud of this build my partner and I worked on. They got super into researching and defining the aesthetic, and I think it's going to be a very nice chill adventure rig and around town bike. I'm particularly pleased with how well the rear rack and fender integrated together! We currently have some #milsurp bags we are planning on modifying into panniers (assuming we can get rid of the smell)

Okay, so there's a joke in the community about having "Talismans" on your bike, and I want to turn into the skid and take it a little more literally. I already have a Nazar on my saddlebag, but I'd love to inscribe some wards/glyphs/sigils/runes as I build it up, and I'm looking for ideas.
I'm building the wheels, and wheelbuilders already frequently hang a loop around the hub, so that could be an interesting place to hang something.
Etching protective glyphs along the fender is kind of what got me down this rabbithole.
I know rotating circles are supposed to be powerful, so inscribing something along the rims might be interesting.
I'm open to ideas from any culture or tradition, but would prefer to avoid christian/angelic iconography. Just not my speed.
This bike is moving in a bit of a goblincore direction, and I'd like to lean into that.
I'm open to trading mechanic expertise for favors, or skillsharing!
