Artistic moments but… for bikes
Mismatch but complimenting hub profiles/ colours
Mismatch but complimenting rim profiles
Slick back tyre knobblie front
Unconventional colour cable outers
Complimenting stickers/ patches
Saddle charms
Unique and bold saddles
Bike ornaments (friendship bracelets/ hand made charms etc)
Thematic paint jobs
Non standard decals
Good mix of old and new
I’m really into Building a bike with a non bike reference
I’ve always thought it would be cool to build a long wheelbase step through like a bozuzoku motorcycle or like a low rider etc
A lot of my sticker jobs / colour schemes come from Japanese car culture, wabisabi from drift missiles reeeeaally gets me
I find it helps frame the design in something less bike orientated , but with clear cross over to produce something that still feels novel even if using the same parts
