I don't know if you're experienced at striping, you could try some stick-on from the auto parts world to see if you like it, and/or practice on a spare wheel. Personally, I don't care much for them on squarish rims like yours. :|

i think they'll stay stripe-less, they look nice and clean, and i dont like the strip tape stuff. i would buy brushes and 1-shot to do it

thanks man! the color combo was actually an accident. i stripped and primed the frame, then painted it this color, thinking it'd be more of a red oxide primer paint, but i like the turnout! its my first orange bike. :roll: i also didnt get to put the seat i wanted on it. the one i have for it needed too much work to get done, so i tossed this one on instead.
