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

Lol, an idea if yiu wanted a quick weekend project. Take off the electrical tape, tape off the colored areas and use plastidip. It woukd look better than electrical tape. I personally like the covered areas with a different finish.

Just checked that plasti-dip out on YouTube, never seen it before. Wonder how many cans it would take to do a whole frame?.........See what you've started!

@primov8 did his frameset. If I remember correctly he said he used just 1 can.

I did my brothers wheels for his car and it turned out great

I would think 2 cans to cover a whole frame thoroughly if you're making drastic color changes.

I've used it on my truck and it's pretty awesome. Make sure you spray it nice and evenly or else it gets fuzzy.

As far as human centipede bikes go, that Calfee is pretty nice.

28. Classic 65 in the Rear. Classic 45 in the front.

Was supposed to both be 65's, but they're discontinued, and we could only find one 28 spoke 65.
