So I was tired of baby $hit brown:



It also needed new pivot bearings.

So it seemed like a good time to paint the demo.

Finished Result:










Its 10x more amazing in the sunlight in person, but you get the idea.

Looks like you changed a bunch of parts too. Call it the Joker. Did you paint it or did you have it done?

The purple is great but I'd never mix it up with that toothpaste green. Should have gone yellow or blue or really anything else :P

love the frame...also not so keen on the green. i always thought a purple bike with chrome accents would be amazing

your girlfriend/sister/mom is hot.
TOTALLY DISRESPECTFUL

It is perfectly fine to talk about someone's GF like that, even a sister is ok, and a mother is acceptable.

But when they are all wrapped up into one person.... you just leave it alone.

DECORUM gentleman. Decorum!
now BOT:
did you paint that purple pebble eater, or did you have it done?

haha thanks guys.

Yeah it could be the Hulk, Barney, the Joker, purple people eater, an eggplant, etc.
Whatever you like best.

My buddy and I painted it.

Oh and its girlfriend, she looks bad in that pic though.

All the "new" parts were already on there, I just didn't have any pics of the brown that were recent.

I dig the green with the purple. Not one many would have thought to mix, Its unique



Now about that being a Not hot pic, you need to post up a "Hot pic" so we here at teh monkey can decide on our own

Wassup with the big cassette?? 11-34 11-32??

Nice bike though, I like the changes you made and the color is rad... although it may hurt the resale value!

The chainstays are covered in 1/8" sticky backed EVA foam.

The Dorado kept blowing up on me, so after 6+ rebuilds I said F it. Rad part is the boxxer feels better right out of the box.

Haha no emo scenester here. I usually don't do flashy things but I figured what the hell.

Will try to dig up a pic of GF.

Lowering resale value? please....

Looks good. Maybe everyone above who doesn't like it can agree it's better than that original crazy doodoo brown fade.

Just paint "Why so Serious" down the side and you've got the bike I want to use in my film vision of Batman 3: Zombie Joker. We're going to reanimate Heath, its going to be great.

Long as I have his undead ass around I also think I am going to make a zombie version of Broke Back Mountain...

Sorry, rambled there. Nice paint.
