Would be great to see this become the next big thing in cycling!!!

Have dreams of opening up a little shop along beach road somewhere with
a spray booth and long brushes for hand-done pinstripes with albums upon
albums for people to leaf thru to choose their new look.

Bit like tattooing for your bike (speaking of tattoos, watch this
space...)

What's with the 2nd bike (cyclocross?). Just how do you apply the brake
or change the gears? Or is it a track bike in disguise..

With no chain I'm guessing it's mid-build...

My mate has a seriously awesome paintjob on his Kennedy. It's a
chameleon paint that moves around Orange/Gold/Yellow. Pity about the
dodgy Kennedy stickers all over it. I'll see if he has a pic of it...

Looks like a road frame being crossified. I think purpose built
cyclocross bikes would have cantis mostly, maybe discs even?

And the tyres look like a _very_ close fit.

I had my bike done by Star Enamellers at Bankstown. Just a one colour job
though.
If they can't do what you want I'm sure they'll point you in the right
direction.

Generally canti's yeah. As far as I know, the UCI just banned the use o
disc brakes in cyclocross events.
