    Pretty paint job for DH

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    DH had rotator cuff surgery 5 weeks ago, he's still in a sling and hasn't started therapy yet so he is whining, understandably, about when he gets to ride again.
    so right after the surgery i took his bike apart and got it repainted and then put it all back together, as a surprise to him.

    both our bikes before and after

    now he has to think of a new name, he used to call it the Silver Slug.

    Oooh, I really like the white to yellow fade, even though I'm not big on that combo of colors. The pink bike is really pink too.

    WOW - now we know why you are called "Pink Bike". That has got to be the pinkest bike I have ever seen!

    I know now that if I ever run into you on a ride in southern Arizona, there is no way I'm going to miss you!

    Both bikes look great

    How about "The Yellow Peril" for your DH's bike?
    There are a lot of unwanted, unloved bikes out there - go on give a bike a good home
