Noob here...

Or some of the more simple, but good mods. -

THE BICtory Mod by mwahaha91
Pens needed...- 2 BIC Round Stics
- Some kind of grip (Uni-Ball Signo / Papermate Profile / Dong-A Anyball / Pentel RSVP / etc...)
- Remove the clips from both Round Stic caps.
- Remove the back plug from one of the Round Stic bodies.
- Remove the tip and ink tube from both bodies (both are attached and should come out as one).
- Cut the back of the ink tubes up to where the ink is filled, leave just a little extra tube to be safe.
- Stick tip/ink tube asssemblies into each end of the first Round Stic body.
- Place a cap over each end of the body.
- Stick your choice of grip over each cap.
Pens needed...- 1 BIC Round Stic
- 2 BIC Round Stic Grips
- your choice of grip
- Basically the same as above, remove the tip/ink tube assemblies from the Round Stic Grip and stick them into the Round Stic body

Thanks!
But hey, When you add the Grips, is that pretty
much just to add a little extra weight?? -

The weight gives it more momentum -- something that the BICtory lacks. I stuff erasers up the caps also to add further momentum. -

grip is also for infinities.

BICtories with no grips are also great for learning the shadow. I learned my shadows while using the BICtory -- much better than a pencil or any other pen.

Semi-extended Bictory:
2x Bic Stic Grips...and follow the instructions of a regular bictory. You might need to clip off ~0.5cm on the inktubes so it fits in all the way. -

Would you be able to provide a pic as to
what a Bic Stic Grip looks like?
Also here's my First mod...
I used 2 Bic Ultra round stics for the barrel.
I had it at 22.5cm, then trimmed it down to 18.75cm which
feels waaay better.
Lemme know if you have any TIPS or SUGGESTIONS, please !!!!

How did you connect the two bic barrels? Or am I understanding you wrong..

You're right, I used 2 clear Bic Ultra Round Stics...
It has an extended plastic tip (almost 5cm long) which I
cut, and resized to use the lower half of it to connect the 2
BURS barrels. -

He did it a liiittle bit different than
I did it, but still turned out good.
One thing though...Can you define or post a
pic of an Anyball Grip? -

Dong-A Anyball / Papermate Profile / Papermate Star Gel Max...
-

since you're in the US, it would be a papermate profile.
same thing as the Anyball. -

Koo man, thanks for clearing that up !!! -
Date: Thu, Sep 27 2007 22:13:02
both versions are a good mod for begginers (like me) easy to make and not too bad for spinning
btw any one in canada know fo those wierd mainstays pens that suck dick for writing cuz they leak like crazy but i amde a mod of them by cutting off the ink cartridge (yes it is messy) and then i kind of shove another barrel on the pen side. it doesnt have much momentum but its well balanced -
Date: Fri, Oct 12 2007 21:55:17
sorry it's my first day of pen spinning but do you buy the grip seperatly in canada?
-
Date: Fri, Oct 12 2007 22:04:04
yeah, you buy the grips separately.
i would suggest either Profile grips, or G2 grips.
however, i prefer profile.

You can put unbent paper clips into the barrel to add weight, but if you accidentally stick it up the ink tube it gets messy

if you used the slightly shorter bic grip body as well, then its a semi-extended bictory, if you use a regular big body with the bic grip ends, its an extended bictory. (both have been done before) -

Okay I was wondering if their were any other BICtory mods that make the BIC into a pencil. I saw the MP Bictory but that mod requires a RoseMate X 200 which I have tried to no success find. Thanks for your help. Plus I'm new to penspinning and new to UPSB. PS FTW!

Bictory: Bic round stic(brs) caps, inktubes and body.
Semi-Extended Bictory: Bic rounds stic grip(brsg) caps, inktubes and body.
Exrended Bictory:brsg Inktube, with either brs or brsg caps(brs caps are opaque while brsg caps are cloudy see thru) and brs body. -

Date: Tue, Nov 4 2008 22:24:57
I don't know if this is an official mod but does anyone make bictories with ULTRA bic round sticks cause the Ultra ones are a little longer and a little heavier but otherwise there is no difference.I only say this cause people are just calling them bictories when there is a very distinct differnce i.e clear barrel, longer, u have to cut the ink tubes shorter then a normal bictory just tiny differences that don't really matter that much
-
Date: Tue, Nov 4 2008 22:29:13
Yes, it is an offical mod. it is called a BICtory Extended or Semi-Extended, depending on the body.

Date: Thu, Apr 23 2009 01:18:32
make a bictory get rid of one of the caps put a rsvp cap on that end. on the other cap put a grip of your choice on the other cap (make sure it sticks out over the edge of the cap a little) then place a metal tip of your choice in the grip
-
Date: Fri, May 22 2009 02:27:54
Just a fact for the BiCtory mod.
If you kept the bic caps and want more weight, you can cut off part of the caps and put in a flexgrip elite tip in there.
Fits snuggly. xD -
Date: Thu, May 28 2009 18:03:05
What pen tips do u use to put on the end of the bictory and what grips can i use for covering the joint> plz help im been looking for hours thanks! -
Date: Thu, May 28 2009 18:06:24
Tips can be Signo, or HGG, or really basically anything, and so can the grips. the tips need the grips in order to stay on though
-
Date: Thu, May 28 2009 19:00:35
Actually (i think guitrum did this on one of his tuts, but i knew this before) if you can find some Flexgrip Ultra tips you can cut off just a small bit of the end of the bic cap, enough to make a hole, and they screw right in. only problem being, Flexgrips that are sold these days are made with plastic tips, at least the ones i buy are.

just tried making it and yeah it is really small...i dont think that it would be a good pen to spin because of it tho...for me the only mod i have is a regular bictory w/ g2 grips and metal nuts at the ends over the caps...and it spins great...so i dont think a super short bictory is good :/ -

Hmm, did they stop selling solid-color bic round stics? I went to target/walmart/office depot/office max yesterday in search of bic round stics, and all of them had translucent caps and bodies, similar to the bic round stic grip edition pens.
The translucent bodies look like shit for modding
I had to buy some knock-off and use those instead -
Date: Tue, Dec 15 2009 22:37:28
Depending on were you live buy/order 2 bic round stick grips . than remove 1 ink tube and move the body away. then remove the back cap. and stick the ink tube in the back where it was.then put the pen caps on and there you go! (do not push the caps on as hard as they will go or you will not be able to pull the off with your hands!

Date: Wed, Dec 30 2009 12:00:37
super long bictory(i crate this mod)
3x bic round stic grip.
cut 2x bic round stic grip right before the "p" alphabet of the word GRIP in bic round stic take the other bic. take grip and cut the barrel that should hold the grip. now conect the other 2 cutted bic. and continued like making the old bictory.
