Stripping the paint is such a pain in the butt too.Taking the bike apart was easy though, since my bike only has one gear and one brake.

Sounds cool as hell, but kinda hard to picture. Might be a time-consuming trial though...

Ninja style.

I like b00bz, don't get me wrong. I just don't like getting in trouble for looking at them at work, and almost a year ago, we all had agreed that we would keep Learned'd work safe.

Thanks for the Ninja assassin edit.

Sittin at work bored.

And Fuzzy wants to repaint his beloved bicycle.

@Fuzzy, The more I think about it, the more I like the white/gold idea. It kinda has a "retro" look to it, and I like.

Shouldn't be too hard, my dad is a guru with detailing small things like that, he made a lot of detailed plastic models back in the day.

I like retro.I'm leaning towards the white/gold idea more than others right now.I think I'll be going with the white/gold idea.

Yeah, but like you said, stripping it back off is a pain. So if you don't like the way it looks, you just added a bunch more time to remove it before you can even select a new color scheme to go with.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, the idea is cool as hell. I just don't know how it'll turn out on a completely assembled bike. Tons of potential there though. It might need some other gold throughout to really make it pop.

Yeah, when I was saying gold accents, I was meaning like handlebars, trailing arm, ect...

Maybe white with a gold stripe down each side? Something more than just the weld points.

I've never seen your bike though, and that would make a difference in what I would say to do.

EDIT: is it anything like that Millholland bikes page you posted?

I haven't heard it in ages, but I knew exactly what that was when you quoted it. Had to open it up for those who haven't been cultured yet!

Yep looks a lot like the bicycles I posted.

If I do go this route, I'll also probably get gold shizzle to match it.

Night Gir, night 'Chelle.

Fuzzy, I like the idea of white with gold joint pieces, If your bike is anything like those you posted. Maybe a stripe or two on the frame if it seems lacking.

Also, just thought of this, same scheme as ^^^^ but red with white accents, and a white stripe running down the frame. Or maybe like this one, except with red instead of baby blue.

Do the two little NICO rectangles in gold paint right before where the rear wheel bolts in. That would look jdmtyte.
