Well i was bored today and it was wet so i thought id re-spray the frame.

When i got this it was white so issanded i down and re-sprayed it white again. But i got bored of that after a while, so i went black with a checkered flag paint job and a simple but effective version of a spiderweb on the head tube.

Tell me what you think peoples.

And sorry about the picture quality as my digi cam is still being fixed so the phone will have to do for now.

cheers bevan

Yea checkered flag looks great, but the spider web doesn't look too crash hot, whatever floats your boat, I will commend your effort on the web though it would be pretty hard to make a really good one.

I would like to see someone make some tear graphics coming from the head tube, exposing a metal like graphic with the rest of the frame being a fairly dark colour.

I did actually try that with my spare frame before i did the ryde. Though it didnt work to what i had hoped. Your best bet woudl be to airbrush the tear on.

But never the less that woudl look pretty awsome indeed.

Well youngie, I can assure you the web isnt done in microsoft paint. All done with masking tape.

And JohnnyB, if you mean Casey from tas. Then yeah i talk to him on the msn. His new bike is looking pretty oool.

If thats not the casey then i have no idea who your talking about.

Cheers bevan

Originally painted the frame white. Then i wanted it black. So i cut up masking tape into squares for the flag. And for the web i cut the tape into strips.

Put the tape on the frame and then spayed away.

Its built up now check it:
