To introduce their 2011 product line, Roland Sands Designs created a bike they called Full Metal Jacket. The name was inspired by the Stanley Kubrick film as it was a “visual assault on the senses” and their first use of brass.
Two years later, RSD swapped out the handlebars, powdercoated the windscreen, and had Chris Wood at Airtrix repaint it. The result was called Whitey, and that’s what we have up for auction today.
Per RSD, “A little fresh paint goes a long way. Rather than building a completely new bike, sometimes you just need to change out some simple parts or throw on a new layer of paint to breathe new life to your machine. Some might think this is a brand new bike build but instead, we used this exact treatment above to revive one of our existing bikes, Full Metal Jacket…if you’re feeling bored with your same old bike, think about how to liven it up and re-light the fire. Sometimes you can create something completely different with just some subtle changes.”
