No, don't be silly - I didn't buy another bike (but I probably should've, huh?) - but I did discover this interesting one in my local park. I and everyone else has been ignoring the two-wheeled conveyance because it was as nondescript as could be, covered in black electrical and silver duct tape.

Somebody curious finally decided to unwrap it:

Somebody spent some time on that, huh? What an interesting and creative surprise under all the blah :)

You can see more pics in my Flickr; I've only posted a smidgen here - see my sig for link.

That is fantastic, was it hanging out untethered, seems odd that it didn't succumb to a worse fate either way. :twitchy:

We need to find this artist and commission some work. ;)

Mid-1990s GT Tequesta with Shimano STX.

Probably stolen and disguised with the tape.

I like it. I’m not very crafty so I’ve been dragging my feet on doing something like that to my Ugly Betty. I kinda wanta decoupage it with old map sections

Great trail bike!

So was it dumped there? The lack of pedals and brakes makes it a difficult bike to ride. That paint job is pretty sweet though, definitely took some time.
