fire engine, cherry, china, lipstick red.

I'm in the process of revamping the oldest bicycle in my parents garage, once it's fixed up it'll be mine. I call it the 'ding-ding bicycle' because it's an old one with fenders and in old movies they always have little bells on them. The bike is rusty, and a dirty navy blue, with patchy rusty white fenders.

I have vision for this old bicycle.

Today I started by digging up some old metal paints from my garage. My colours are gold, shiny black and fire engine-cherry red. The frame is red, I painted it this afternoon. I'll do another coat soon. The fenders and chain cover will be black. All things metallic, the spokes, the handlebars and such, are going to be spraypainted gold. The overall effect will be distinctly model T ford I'm hoping.

This bicycle may need a name...
