Popular Post KrAzY Posted May 9, 2021 Popular Post Share #1 Posted May 9, 2021 I kind of want to paint the frame. White is nice, but the front half in slime green would look betterer. Still need to pick up a front derailer, some bar tape, and who the hell knows where my cycling shoes and shorts went.. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post UglyBob Posted May 9, 2021 Popular Post Share #2 Posted May 9, 2021 I like to be seen by cars, so I went with highway department orange. If I get hit, they can't claim they didn't see me because I blended into the background. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just ignore what's in the road and run it over. You should see the fights on the towns facebook page about how cyclists have no rights to be on the road and how we are impeding traffic and breaking laws. This year along 15 cyclists have been hit in out town. All the drivers claimed they either didn't have the right to be on the road or that they didn't see them. Please tell me you dress like this while riding 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeman564™ Posted May 9, 2021 Share #5 Posted May 9, 2021 the heck kind of bars are those? And your seat is pointed to far down. And slime green would look good, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted May 9, 2021 Share #6 Posted May 9, 2021 White looks too much like a ghost bike. They won’t even have to paint it if you get kilt. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrAzY Posted May 9, 2021 Author Share #12 Posted May 9, 2021 Ok.. Was just in the attic looking for a few things that I don't know where I put from my old cycles... it feels like it is well over the 100 degree F mark up there... I found a tube, two newish bootle cages, small tool pack and a Gu Gel that is dated 2014.... should I try to Gu to see if it is still good? I mean... 3/4 of the year it is just baking up there in 120+F temps... what could go wrong! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That white makes a good canvass for a lot of cool ideas. The dripping green slime or urban camo would both look cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My new bike came in silver or black and I picked silver for better visibility as well as less likely to feel hot in summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are not a lot of bright and loud annoying colors for epoxy spray paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about epoxy but he uses a particular type of canned spray paint on his bikes that maybe would work. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to watch the videos more later, but just grabbed the name off the spray can label and found a dangerous website... SOOOOOOO MANY COLORS! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pattern will be on the drop ends fading to black, and then I can fade into slime green or just go with other geometric line work.. I do have a good hand with airbrushing and rattle cans.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
