I've restored a few, too. Bikes are fun. Here's one I built about three years ago.

that is nice! i don't really have a lot of pics of old stuff i restored. i have a lot of pics of 70's and 80's bmx and freestyle bikes i did and pics of my old shop. i sold most of them on ebay and didnt save the pics or i lost them. if you want to see some of them i will put them up.

I used to sign everything "Von Douche" of course I pronounced it "Von Dooshay" I started as a sign painter in the mid '60s... picked up the striping brush about 35 years ago. i sign my stuff "Jon".. only use the JonDutch name for things like this board. I'm not too big on guys using take-offs of the master's name... guys like Von Dust and Von Franco... Dutch wuz one of a kind and and should be recognized as such... not have part of his name hung on somebody else's brush. Please, don't take offense at this... it's just my opinion... and mine is pretty strong where things related to Dutch are concerned.

Jon, i can understand your feeling cause Von Dutch was my hero. it also whizzes me off that people try to imitate or cash-in on His name. Duane

The Flying Merkel bike is Bitchen! Im finally inspired to build a bike. Way too many cruiser bikes and wannabe's around Vancouver... Makes me not want to bother.
VonDutch is an Icon! Nobody should wear his name unless they know his real name. ( talkin about all the shirt and trucker hat wearin posers out there.)

Jon, That is great work! Good striping is way more than just laying some lines. Design is the most important element. Yours are great and flow with the bikes lines. Nice work!

Really enjoying the discussions about sign painting and striper's art. Nice stuff here. I'd love to see closeups of the fenders on the first bike. Great color combinations... ;D
