I worked at a powdercoating shop over the summer and decided to paint the bike. I got rid of the rear brake cable guides and the water bottle mounts too, now it's all smooth. In the sun the paint has a lot of metallic flake and looks awesome, super happy how it turned out. Front wheel is a cheap replacement, just got me back on the road.

Looks awesome, although I like it as 'before' covered in stickers/graffiti, too.
looks very nice!
I need to strip mine and paint it someday...
HIPSTER!!
Nice bike, though.
The helmet makes him borderline, unless he just uses it to prop the bike stylishly.
Speaking of bike stuff, what are some decent cheap cage pedals?
decent cage pedals = the ones that came on my '92 trek 400... metal clips even lol... tossed em for my clipless ;-)
looks good man although I did like it before... I realy want to have my frame powder coated but the cost is a bit more then I want to spend :-/... but it's kinda hard to find a 65cm frame doh lol

Funny you should say that, I have one now. If I would have had one 4 months ago I wouldn't have this permanent ringing in my left ear and it would still work as an ear.
Your bike looks sweet. I need to get mine back on the road, the commute to work wouldn't take much longer, and parking would be much easier.
