You saw it here first folks,
Babes and Builders.

How cool is that!!

So the pin stripping was done on a moving wheel using a tube that is something like today's marker? If babes built the bikes, how come the liberated ladies aren't breaking their nails doing what we do? Maybe they are building bikes in China?

Thats awesome! There is a video floating around of a bike factory (i think schwinn) with an image of them pinstriping fenders!

Wow, very cool! Thanks for posting those pics. Pretty neat to see how the pinstriping was done. Would also be interesting to see how the details were painted on the frames.

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing!

Can you imagine the pride felt by these workers, lady or gentleman had after a hard days work. Not many could say," i helped build that bicycle".

I think it's great and interesting how we view these images, the different takes, tangible and intangible. Too cool!

Look into the backgrounds, some fun stuff.
