Hand Drawn Pinarello
*I'm not sure if this is the right thread to post this but didn't know where to put it*
I've always had a real love for late 90's early 00's road bikes. My dream bike was/is the Pinarello Galileo from 2003. I've had this bike for over 10 years, I love it. But on a high speed descent on a closed corner I crashed quite badly at over 65 kph 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 enjoy looking at it :) https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...19a59fe32d.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...4b41a369d4.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...0de5483e22.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...da669b1c06.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...3e5d43d3e3.jpg For more info & pics see https://firewaterboy.com/ or https://www.instagram.com/firewaterboy_art/ Enjoy! |
OK, that wasn't what I expected--WOW!!!!!!
That's museum quality art. I've never enjoyed looking at photos of a bike more. Does this actually get ridden or is it a display piece? What's a "professional doodler"? Do you do this to other practical objects? Did I mention "brilliant"? |
Reminds me of the stuff that used to come from Pegoretti -- Only better OP !
Very trick |
I am pretty indifferent towards the romanticism placed on older bikes and componentry however that bike is art! Absolutely beautiful.
|
Seriously, that is very cool!
|
Astounding. How long did that take you? What is the drawing material and how is it protected?
|
WOW!!! Cables too!!! Fantastic.. How??? That's it... It's what my bike is missing... Something personal and perfect for a Franken Bike!!!
Now ya got me thinking about simple art work on my seat tube. Something like SERGIO ARAGONES marginal art work from Mad magazine. Maybe some I Spy characters dropping a bomb on my Frankenised French bottom bracket... Thanks for the Thread... |
Amazing! (...as in: much better than excellent.) Thanks for sharing this.
|
Very Very cool .....
|
Awesome artwork. Here's some Mavic kit you should get to go with :)

I think you've found what your side-line should be if you can do similar art multiple times over and over on frames for other persons.
|
Stunning. I just noticed the dice motif in the rear brake bridge!

Professional doodler because I've been doing it all my life. I haven't and I'm not planning to do this on other objects.. Not for now anyway. :) |

Had lots of problems with smudging at the start so had to clean/redo a lot of stuff which ate up a lot of time and energy. I use a permanent marker with a double tip. I used (several of) the same marker for the whole bike and then put a thick lacquer to protect it. |

Maybe I'm naive, but I'm thinking you have an incredible potential for genre-busting here. |
I'll just echo what everyone has already said, that is amazing!!
