The decision we all make throughout the year is do we buy a new bike or do we recycle the one we have by putting new components on it. One of the reasons we do this is becuase we like to the look of a new, clean bike. There's something about it that makes us go faster. Similar to when we get a new pair of running shoes, there's just something about those shoes that provide us an extra kick on our runs.
So the question remains, buy a new bike or not? Instead of buying a new bike, why not update the paint job with a new one by visiting Shawn Ealy Designs in Henderson. While Shawn has been adding his artistic touch to anything from custom cars, motorcycles, boats and even helmets for the last 15 years in the valley, his newest endeavor has been coloring bicycle frames for those of us in need of updating our paint jobs or covering up the dings and scratches from years of use.
One such client is John MaGuire of Kirklee bicycles whose art is slinging carbon into one of the most technologically advanced frames on the market. Team Allegiant Air can be seen riding these rigs around town testing out their full capabilities. You'll notice them because Shawn spent many hours ensuring the pearl white with blue lettering paint finish was just right.
Several other cyclists have also taken their bikes to Shawn in the recent past, including someone just wanting a quick touch up to steel frames built by locals enrolled in the frame-building classes at Nevada State College.
Shawn LUVs what he does and wants to ensure everyone is content with the product he provides. "What I'd really like to do is have someone give me a frame and let me provide custom paint for them," said Shawn, when asked how he'd like to help. Checkout all of Shawn's designs at www.shawnealy.com.
If you've already got the new frame and don't need new paint, perhaps you can find something of interest by an East Coast artist, Angela Armstong, whose made it her business to recycle used cycling parts into creative works of art. Wherther it is stained glass, framed art, or greeting cards, you can be sure each will provide the cycling enthusiast enjoyment. Some of her works include chain ring and disc brake clocks. Based on her exceptional talent, Angela ensures each piece is unique. For more information on what recycled Bike Art can do for you, stop by www.mainebikeart.com.
