Bored today...decide to bling the bike
 
I decided the new Trek 3.1 needed some red. I'm in America, so RED/WHITE/BLUE! (It helps to have your own Vinyl Cutter) :D

I might do a little more...but I like what I have so far. Now I'm going to do my helmet.

Here's all the photos:

You know, I don't usually go in for that kind of graphics job, but yours looks very nice.

I like it. Good job.

I was expecting some bedazzled effects... However, not disappointed. :lol:

Makes it look faster.

Hey, did you make that rack from an Instructable? I made one just like it.

Nice ! Just enough to be tasty.

Oh no, take em off! Looked way better before. I saw the first pic and thought sweet, scrolled down then thought oh no!:D

I saw one like it somewhere and did it myself. I have a new design now with more supports under the upright. Made a few of those for friends and doing myself a new one in the near future. Very handy stands for sure!

I'll do a complete parts list and instructions when I do it.

Okay, I'm stripping them off as we speak! :eek:

I hope you didn't strip them off yet. Take it for a ride at least like that. I think it looks very tastefully subtle and factory like. You didn't pimp it. You held back which is nice.

I was kidding. I like it. It will stay that way until I think of another scheme :thumb:

Haha! I'm just a blues guy. :D

Cool! I've been thinking of using my vinyl cutter for the same... I pimped out my car with vinyl, and it has lasted through three Wisconsin winters without peeling at all!
Nice work...

Nice bike bro...

Very tastefully done. But that brings up this question: Does that mean it's NOT Bling? :)

You might want to think of making up packages like that for sale.

That's a darn good point!
