Or sacrifice your bike's looks to camouflage its value. Stickers, spray paint and a tear in the seat will make almost everyone ignore your bike instead of thinking about stealing it.

All accomplished last night in a drunken stupor. Not done yet, carbon is still showing through and the yellow Easton stickers need to come off. I'm thinking brown packing tape and more glitter paint is going to be money...as well as a mud bath.

Jeez that is truly hideous.



























The paint job isn't really very nice either.
I'm kidding, nice work and hope it works as intended

 

[pinkshirtphotos]

ok cool, keep the crackhead from maybe stealing your bike. but anyone who has walked into a bike shop will see its still a nice wolf in sheeps clothing. fail

 

[syadasti]

You should key your car and put some graffiti on it, someone could steal that too. Don't forget home improvements too

Good job, you even got paint on the chain

I dont really think that is going to make the bike less likely to be stolen. However, it looks awesome
