Blends in the backround perfectly, hot

Let's try this.

Staging is all wrong. Dog and flag should be centered and lined up. Dog should also have tongue hanging out on the drive side of the trailer. And risers get rid if those risers and slam that thing.

Nice, hot bike, great picture.

A well presented hot bicycle.

Garage doors just can't compete with purple flowers.

+1 Hot!

Thanks all. I was try to live up to the "New and Improved" spirit :)

Very well done. HOT!

Ooh!

Well, it came out a little more "electric blue" than powder blue:

Well done! I'd vote it a hot. Although I'm more impressed by the rest of the bike than I am with the blue custom paint... It's ... nice? But if I were custom painting it, that's probably not the color I would have selected. But a hot bike nonetheless!

Edit P.S. - Do you have a red bike to match the twin Lambo in the background? :thumb:

I do.

I like it a lot. I think some black details on the front and back dropouts would have made it even better.

Have you though about Fizik Soft Touch tape, to match the saddle?

I pined over some stripes on the drop-out areas and decided that "less is more", didn't want to complicate it.

Nah, I like the Pro tape, lasts a long time. Still not certain I'm keeping that saddle, may try a Selle SMP.

fantastic

not a fan of the frame. weird shape

Good bike, LOVE the color, Good set up. Even though I sometimes agree that less is more, I feel like it is too simple. Thats just MY personal thought. I think what separates a nice custom designed frame and just custom paint is the design itself. without seeing this in person, this could pass for a rattle can paint job with some vinyl stickers thrown on. As mentioned above, you could still easily throw some small lines on the fork/seat stays or possibly paint the inside of the fork. Its lovely as is, but could use something more if it were my own.

I agree with you. The bike was in a for a chain stay repair so I went ahead and did the simple paint you see here, rather than match two shades of blue and still ride a rolling billboard. If I didn't race this bike and didn't have to worry about breakage I would have done more, but I've broken three road bikes in two years. One was a hit from a car, another from the RD going through the stays/wheel, and then this broken chain-stay.

Great color, nice job!! Hot. As for the Lambo, you compensating for something? I mean where does the bike rack even go?

To be honest, i miss the red accents... they matched your hubs and seemed to bring a bit more contrast to the bike.

You did a great job though. bravo.
