Wore out three sets of tires already!
A big snow storm is a'comin...and this new Syracuse resident, who even after living in Canada still refuses to buy snow tires, is about to be snowed out of the studio for a hot minute. So instead of writing for grants, applying for studio residencies, making lesson plans, or anything else that gives me anxiety.... im going to play with my bike. Wheeee
I realized I'm about to turn 30 next month and I've been thinking, whats a nice thing to do for myself. Soooo.. out comes this lovely gal @Floyd gifted me. Ive always wanted to do a "rust-tina." I personally love leaving bikes as is versus a full shiny restoration...but this house paint isn't doing anyone any favors and my art senses are tingling. I think I could nail a patina and enjoy the heck out of making it.
I figure now's a perfect time to put to use all the tools and paint booths I have at my disposal at Syracuse University. Im taking a 3D printing class while also teaching a mold making class, so I think a creative headlight replacement is due. We will see.
I know the semester will hit me like a freight train... so this will be a very long project once the snow melts.
While I know the paint is stripped under the frame, there is original paint and pinstriping under the silver chain guard. So thats a fun, but delicate gift to uncover.
