    The Great Pumpkin Bike!!!!

    So after my recent lowside at PMI and the fact that ive only put 50 street miles on my bike in the last 6 months i decided to just make it a track bike. An ORANGE track bike!!! Took Puck and I 6-7 hours to paint it with 9 cans of "True Orange" spray paint. Turned out pretty nice too I think. When i bought the plastics and tank they had some lame Michel Jordan jumping man decals all over them. Striped thoes off, taped the lines and went to work. Flame away, I think it looks awsome.

    you should get the rims powder coated black and add an orange rim stripe too.

    Nice Job!

    That does look different, but I like it. For spray paint in a can, WOW! I bet it will be very easy to see it go by on the track.

    When Puck told me and hubby about it last Friday night, I was questioning how it would turn out being rattle canned, but it looks awesome!! Nice job y'all!!
