Hand Drawn Pinarello

[FireWaterBoy]

I have a real love for late 90's early 00's frames. My dream bike was/is the Pinarello Galileo from 2003. I've owned this bike for more than ten years.

But then on a high speed descent I crashed it and totaled the bike. Me and the frame survived so to turn a negative into a positive I decided to draw on it.

This is the result, I hope you will enjoy looking at the bike

Enjoy!

That is amazing, it must have taken such a long time to do

What processes did you use, is this just marker pens and then a clear coat?

Wow

Yes! A permanent marker and then a very thick lacquer to protect the drawings.

Thanks for all the nice comments, really appreciated

Took more or less 6 months. Drawing every night after work until 2-3am.. Had lots of problems with smudging at the start so had to clean/redo a lot of parts. That ate up a lot of the time

Would look better with a few guns and fighter jets on there, but even so its pretty neat!

It’s stunning, is the bike unrideble after the crash, or has it been repaired and now useable?

Thanks!

The frame survived the crash. Everything else got destroyed. So sprayed it white and drew on it.
This is my current bike. I've ridden more than 11 000 km's on it this year! I love it

That is seriously cool.

So are we talking felt tip pen and lacquer?

I used a permanent marker and a friend who spray paints cars put a very thick lacquer on it. Came out looking like glass/porcelain!

Wow! Looks fantastic!

That's the most personalized bike I think I've ever seen. Congratulations.
