Ideas for painting my bike.. ..
Quote | Reply
Hey guys, I just bought a 2001 Cervelo P2k from a nice dude on this forum. I have completely stripped it and will send it to the painters in the next week. I am looking for something cool to write down the downtube (in smallish writing).

Here is what I am thinking so far. My wife loves the new white P2k, so I am going to get it done completely in 'flat white', then of course I'll have my last name printed in tiny lettering on the top tube close to the seat. But I want something cool to write on the downtube.

Since I ride a 56/44 front end, I thought something like 'PowerHungry', but my wife thought that was gay. So I need your help, I want it to mean something, like have some cool connotations or something.

I once stripped a mtn frame down--I repainted it myself in hunter's orange using a special metal epoxy paint I applied with a special spray gun they use for fine finishes on furniture--I worked at a paint store! Paint still stayed on to this day....

As for your question: How about: "Keep drafting, I'm reloading." or "If you can read this, you're probably going to get passed on the run." or "The path of the righteous man...." Or something extremely un-original that is ripped off from somethign that is actually funny. :)

Or maybe stadler's post-kona quote about winning off the bike

I'm trying


"ah-hem...the time is yours."

I was thinking about that (the POSER suggestion)... but my wife said that was gay too.

I can't put FUCT simply because I wouldn't want to be the dad of a kid who asks how to pronounce it :)

Funny you ask. :)

I always wanted to paint my 2001 Cervelo P2K completely white with some red/orange/yellow flames on it a la Cam Widoff's Trek Time Trial bike.

Or assuming your Canadian, you could do something like this...

POSER!

That is perfect. I'm considering repainting a bike this winter and that would go great.

Not sure about the down tube but down the back sides of the seat stays I used to have vinyl letters spelling out "Drafting is" on the left and "for the Weak" on the right. Actually looked pretty nice. Wonder if one of you graphic artist types could make a complete sticker for me like that?

Of course it was small enough that you had to be close to read it. Seemed to work pretty well for keeping suckas at bay (For you grammer queens: at bay, idiom - to keep at a distance)

Drafting is for the weak...

if i had to put something down my tube (that doesn't sound quite right does it?), i would put, "that's all you had to say"

this of course is from Pulp Fiction..."calm the mother f'ers down, the Wolf is on the way" and Jewels says, "Damn negro, that's all you had to say!" and hangs up the phone

or another favorite movie of mine is Goodfellas. "you think I'm here to amuse you? Like a clown? You think I'm funny? Funny how?" or "you insulted him a little bit" If I was a scorned woman i might put, "get your owned goddamned man!!"

anyway, the point is--something from a favorite movie. then it's inside and some people along the way might acutally get it, or think about it long after you've gone by. good stuff.

my husband would probably put, "yeah, I'm gonna need you to come in on Saturday..." he's always saying that. it's funny. this is from office space of course.


if you haven't seen the Original Kings of Comedy I suggest you rent it this weekend...my gosh there is tons of hilarious material on that show. i still pee my pants over it. "I don't know about hockey...cause you get to fight!" or, "why didn't anybody tell me?!" or, "whennnnn can we expect payment??" or, "if you going to de moon, damnit, we goin to de moon!"

oh god, that's funny shit!

How about:

"56/44!?! What was I thinking!"

or:

"OLEVREC"

Or, my personal favorite:

"Huffy"

Have your wifes first name painted on it in a classic caligraphy.


I have to ask though, why only flat white? Why not something a little more creative?
