Custom Painted BMC! With Pics
Saw an ad on Craigslist with the title CUSTOM PAINT YOUR BIKE. Figured it'd be a cheesy cruiser with badly done flames, but found this BMC frame instead. I could think of better things to do with a $3k carbon frameset.
Anyway, thought this was just too odd not to share.

Perhaps this could be Phonak's new look for 2007!

That's hideous in a strangely attractive way.

I dunno, to me it looks like the world's most expensive Burningman bike. Seems almost wrong to do that to a BMC, but then again, I bet that paint is a great theft deterrent.

Not a custom paint job, a paint job you have to grow acustommed to. It looks ike a third grade art assignment. Lookout Project One

that's just wrong.
the person responsible for that paint job should go to trial for crimes against aesthetics.

Why anyone would ever do that to a BMC I will never understand. They do the same thing with some of the Colnagos, again, why would yo do this?

I like it. But then, I've waited 2 years for a paint job - what taste can I possibly have?

I understand. Really.
You see it's the same old dilema: Everyone wants a really capable crit bike that they're not afraid to crash because it's so beautiful. With that you actually hope to crash so you ride like hell. Call the paintjob "Deathwish".

Methinks this might be a BMC 'second', 'X-out', or 'knockoff'. The lugs look right, but I don't think someone would deface a pristing BMC with this abortion of a paint job.
Maybe the buyer thought the frame was defective in the first place...I mean, they put the fork on backwards!@lol!!!1eleven.
