Colorful Alternative to Rattle-canning
I came across this beauty on the way home from breakfast. No more needs be said, these photos speak for themselves.

Well, that is quite a theft deterrent!
I have a different thought.
I'm going to have the kids in my class spray a rusty Trek mtb frame.
Maybe a 930, but really, who cares.
In the stripper as we speak.
....and no, the kids won't get near the stripper.
Heaven only knows what it will look like, but I am bringing it to school next week.
Our art teacher is being enlisted for this little "fun" project.
I am building it up for my youngest son to hit the river bottoms with us this summer.
I will show the kids some of Dario's handywork for inspiration.

If I even tried to say this with a straight face, my wife would slap me...
But seriously some where on BF a guy coated his whole frame with reflective tape. It was a very good job on a Schwinn if I remember corectly

Yeah, I liked that one.
Here in The City they put handlebar tape all over their bikes.

I found a site with a pic of a little figurine but I could not copy and paste it.
