Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Pin Stripping for Road Bikes

Where can one buy pin stripping for road bikes? Me newly powder-coated bike is solid red and need a few nice strips of white pin stripping to make it a WOW bike.

Would this stuff be lighter or more aero then pinstripping for a car?
I'm sure you could find the car stuff any any detail or autopaint store.

just buy vinyl pinstripes for cars or motorbikes and cut down to size, what's so hard about that?

I wholeheartedly agree but not sure how or if they can paint onto a powder coated surface. Will check into it.

If the powder coat is too rough for paint then you'll have issues w/ the stickers/decal pinstripes as well.

Do paint if you are, or know someone who is, a skilled pinstriper, it's not easy.

There's "WOW!" and there's "not exactly". I'm thinking that if you're looking for WOW! you're going to have to find somebody who does pinstriping to paint it for you.
