Re: [CR] Pics of my resto-mod "S W Cotten"

I think the paintjob is great too !! The only thing I'd do differently is to find a way to integrate some S. W. Cotton decals or some kind of S.W. Cotton identification onto the bike, so that it could have been an original paint job !!

Frankly, I love playful paint jobs, especially some of the irreverent ones done by Dario Pegoretti, here are some frames it reminds me of :

I think that Pegoretti could be our modern equivalent of Jack Taylor, and Pegoretti frames are likely to be highly prized for the next 50 years. There is just something very "Frank Lloyd Wright" about his paint designs.
