THE RESULT
The bicycle came out just as planned, a white frame, black trim and black and white wheels. -
THE ORIGINALS
Toghether with a friend (and classmate) Jan van Haaren I accuired two bicycleframes. We set ourselves the project of redesigning them to a stylish new look. -
PREPPING
All unnecessary trim was removed from the bike to get a very clean look and feel. -
CLEANING
The quest for a clean look made we had to sand of the whole frame, get rid of any paint residue since the original paint was weathered very badly. -
WORKING TOGETHER
Jan and me kept working together a lot, because, well frankly, because this is a lot more fun.SEVERAL LAYERS OF PAINT
The now cleaned bikes need a lot of layers of paint for protection of the steel and for aesthetic purposes.PAINTING THE TRIM
I chose white for the frame of my bicycle, the other trim was painted black for a maximum contrast.
