I have just had it sprayed white and I have bought some industrial sharpies to draw all over it with. I am not the very artistic type. The only ideas I have had are a bike chain and some blocks that are falling down the seat stays. Struggling beyond this so any help would be appreciated!

I like the idea of a shopping list;
Milk
Bread
Cheese etc

draw small rectangles all over it in a variety of colours so it looks like it's made of lego.

They are not MrS, they are industrial sharpies, can withstand water, solvents, 230 Celsius, chemical baths etc. Probably good enough to defile a bike with.

I would chuck a tub of glue over it then dip it in hundreds and thousands. Looks rad, tastes great!
But that's just my opinion.

Get some Fablon on it, everybody likes Smarties?

I also like the idea Pronghorn did on their frames, dimensions and angles etc.

SA - they do look fantastic, shame I cant get industrial coloured sharpies.

RM - ?

Kayak - then it would be so cool with a buffed up clear coat as well

MLC - I also do really like the dimension idea, very unique.

Draw a Traffic Light on it for every red light you go through, should be completely black in no time 😆
