Artist's Comments

After living in Chicago for several years and running around in the salt and grim my poor bike was beaten up pretty bad (go here to see the paint before it was redone) So after my brother fixed up the bike to like new conditions I thought "Hey! Why not give it a new paint job as well!?" So we looked up GIANT models to see what the designs were like, worked out a proto type and here's the final product! :aww:

This was a colab between my brother and I. We worked together on the actual design of the bike (it took us several hours to finally get something that I truly liked) and my brother carried out the actual painting. I had wanted to, but was on a road trip so my brother took care of it in my absense. Prototype can be viewed here

He was told..I'm sure multiple times, that this bike was not worth saving. If only those people could see it now! :evillaugh: :giggle: It was a lot of work to get this done but I'm very happy with my "new" bike :nod: :w00t: :aww:


~BTW~Can anyone recomend a good protective top coat?? The one we used isn't strong enough and I'm afraid to scratch up this paint job :-(
