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
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)
