Singlespeed & Fixed Gear - alright...yet ANOTHER lame idea

to those of you who know about paint/printmaking help it out with this one.

i had another lame idea that probably wont happen but im still thinking about the possibility.
so i want to make a burberry inspired deep v wheel set. how hard would it be? can i screenprint the pattern on it? how gaudy would it look? um....photoshop anyone?http://www.carrythememories.com/images/burberry.jpg

that is the grossest, lamest thing ive ever heard.. just get a scooter and get it over with..

screenprinting, no.

paint candy cane stripes on them.

why be redundant. i titled the thread as lamest idea ever.
so get off yer high horse and help me figure out to be gaudy.

yer taking this in far left field. the idea is super customization(sp). why have every color everyone else has ("oh snap! mine are eggplant....err purple colored!") when you could make it your own? ah, ill go floppin around like a fish instead.

not redundant, reaffirming

my horse isnt that high.. but if youre rolling around with homemade burberry deep v's.. then yes, its a lot higher then that

ive figured out how you can be gaudy and you ignored me.. leave the bikes to bike riders and get a scooter, a long green coat, a skinny tie, lots of mirrors.. and burberry the **** out of the side panels

screenprinting wouldn't work, but they could be painted, or possibly wrapped in vinyl?

Um, FYI. (http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&c2coff=1&q=chav+&btnG=Search)

i'm sure you can do it somehow, look at the guy who raved over last week for his huge collection... he had that cannondale with the jesus rims.

Seems like vinyl would prob. be your best option. Either that or eight bazillion hours with a 00 paintbrush & magnifying glass. Check & see if you can find someplace that does the vinyl for those ads they cover cars/buses with.

you have a point there surf god. im more of a bike gawker. im actually lost to whats going on? are you being silly or a silly prick?

do you want the plaid print or the stitched effect? i would say simplify it down to black, white and red bands of vinyl sticker paper (either find the right color or spraypaint/paint/screen them - but now the wheels are getting heavy...) and then cut and place by hand on a painted tan rim. it would be a ***** but with enough effort you could make it happen.

to clarify, it aint about the burberry pattern but more of the concept of altering a cult item to ultimately make it unique. damn....making a mf. explain his self.

im being a prick.. if i see your burberry deep v's.... i will whip out my thang and pee all over them..i am 100% anti bike ***********...why are you so defensive? you said yourself it was a lame idea.. listen to that voice

moma never hugged me enough. its also why i hate chain whips. see daddy raced on the track and would come home after losing with fire in his eye and chain whip in hand.......

awetistic and i have talked about getting paisley and argyle onto bikes (example: lugs or deep v's). i think it would rock the **** out of some ****. burberry is a little less ridic...i mean, awesome. but hey, good luck with it. your wheels, dude.

yeah, i think it would be super random and i would get a kick out of it.

burberry deep v's is the best idea ive ever heard
