Bikes: 1940s Fothergill, 1959 Allegro Special, 1963? Claud Butler Olympic Sprint, Lambert 'Clubman', 1974 Fuji "the Ace", 1976 Holdsworth 650b conversion rando bike, 1983 Trek 720 tourer, 1984 Counterpoint Opus II, 1993 Basso Gap, 2010 Downtube 8h, and...

I got a set of four Sharpie paint pens at Staples. White, blue, red, and.. maybe yellow? I haven't used that fourth one. I like them. The lines are a little thicker than I'd have chosen, and I had to go over some of them to achieve the desired opacity, but the result is pleasing. I did two color box lining etc on both my Holdsworth and Fothergill frames after painting them. I also clear coated, perhaps a mistake as the clear coat caused the red Sharpie to run a little. Doh.

I'll try to remember to post photos when I'm at a real computer.
