What I like best about this thread is the number of bikes on a website for roadies that aren'r road bikes.
Here's my commuter.
Since then I've changed the tyres (they were lethal in the wet!), upgraded the awful saddle (for a Brooks Cambium) and replaced the old Cycliq light with a newer model.
Oh, and replaced the Gates CDN belt with a CDX model (the rear sprocket and belt both failed, Gates sent me the upgrade under warranty).
Here is my Pinarello Galileo 2003 that I have hand drawn on.
I crashed quite badly on a descent and destroyed everything.
But me and the frame survived so I decided to turn a negative into a positive by drawing on it.
Here's the result, enjoy!

The bike is aerobatic. Next question?
Does the motorbike attach to the side in case of emergencies?
"Pictures of your cake" definitely deserves its own thread.
An extreme 'out there' unbalanced setup. Why not make things better with a simple Carradice QR on the seat post to carry a Camper Longflap? OK, so these are annoying 'cotton-duck' instead of proper nylon with click-buckles, but they're otherwise excellent. Mine is now completely knackered after 16 years, but I've had the replacement-in-waiting for a couple of years.

Well, I'm impressed by the size of that room - are you royalty?
Not sure I approve of that bent top tube though - it almost looks like it should have joined with the dropped stays. As long as it's fun to ride though
beautiful scene and bike
By The Invisible Man?
Can we have a side shot please?
Thumbs up! I love a bit of lefty porn me.
A fine early 90s Marin there too
For a moment I was wondering what kind of weird-ass overkill rack setup you had there.
Then I realised it was a fence.
Where's a headdesk smiley when you need one?
That's an arresting look.
Gorgeous! You're very talented!
?
I have a couple of rear bag options (Saddle Sacks), but for this trip it gave me the lowest total weight like this. The bike handled perfectly fine and I have no complaints.
Really effective use of a mirror and wide angle lens to make a room look larger. He could be standing near the corner of a 4 m x 5 m room. Still large, but not as massive as it first appears.
Here you go.
Thanks Andy!
Yes - but that's just the visitor's drawing room.
Presumably 3.7% more aerobatic than the previous model?
Thief 1: "Hey, richliv has a cool bike. Looks expensive. We should steal it."
Thief 2: "Wow, yeah, who is he?"
Thief 1: "No idea."
Thief 2: "Well, where does he live?"
Thief 1: "I don't know. England, most likely. Or at least Britain. Maybe. We'll just look for the house with the white garage door."
Wait, this site is for roadies? I've never even owned a road bike. What am I doing here?
That's so cool. Roughly, what's the process for doing it?
Now they've got the cake as an extra clue.
The process was really simple. Just sprayed it white and drew on it with a permanent marker. And then got a very thick lacquer put on it to protect it. It looked like glass when it was done!
You make it sound so simple!
The process was simple but the actual drawing was quite difficult. Drawing cubes on a round frame was really hard! Also at the beginning had lots of problems with smudging so had to clean/redo a lot of parts, that nearly finished me off
Exceptional greenery.
