Ghetto Beautification

I had some scraps of self-adhesive vinyl, used to make race numbers for motorcycles, left over from an old project. So, I cut a couple of panels for the Safety Orange Bike (S.O.B.), both for decorative and protective purposes. I like the look of contrasting panels, and I figure the vinyl wrap will prevent a lot of chipping/scratching from leaning the bike against rails, etc.

To carry the ghetto style along, the vinyl wasn't wide enough to fully wrap around the tubes, so I had to scrap a piece in on the downtube, since it is pretty visible. I just left the gap under the top tube. You pretty much have to get under the bike to see it.

I kinda like it. I might actually go get a new sheet of vinyl, and redo it, with a full wrap.
