Default The MARTINI BIKE is here.....
The custom painting process on my Martini Shiv is finally done!!!!!! I should have the frameset in my hands next week. Once again, an amazing thank you goes out to Tyler from Censport Graphics for his amazing craftsmanship, time, and effort! Also thanks to Tai for the help with the S-Works decals. Many of you have already seen a lot of these photo's but I wanted to post everything from the beginning design concepts to the end.... I'll let the pictures do the talking..... Enjoy.

My Initial Sketch...



Design Idea's with Tyler...









Decal ideas using a collage I made from old Porsche Factory Racing Posters....






You all know what a stock Shiv looks like.....quite boring if you ask me



Let the painting begin....






























Trying to decide which decal....








Aerobars....

You spelled Sharkwerks wrong In all seriousness, that is one fantastic looking bike. I really like the decal idea with the posters.
