Heres a few. These were done by Von Mex out of Kansas City AKA Bobby Sanchez
Yes, Bobby (aka. Von Mex) is an amazing pinstriper considering his age. I had him stripe one of my old Koolers at the Boneheads show in Aug. Here is a pic.
Bike related info...that was the show that motivated me to start doing more with pedal bikes. I am on my 7th now.
Keep the pinstripe pic coming.
Thanks

Thats one sweet dyno Steve.
WOW! love the pinstriped Brooks seat. Nice!
that Bobby Sanchez can paint! what a cool and respected artform to get involved with at such a young age. i'll be keeping an ear out for him in the years to come.
these pics are my first dance with the brush. i built this bike in 2000, and never would have guessed i'd still be riding it today :lol:

Very nice bikes and striping...and that's the second pic with a Moon crank sprocket. Where are you all finding them? I want one bad for my latest project.
Great work! I have a question for Bobby...can someone ask him for me? He is using One-Shot sign painters enamel which I'm familiar with. Is he using it straight from the can without thinning it? Maybe he thinned the whole can? That stuff is pretty thick to use straight and I always have to thin mine. Maybe he knows something I don't, which is why I'm asking. :wink:

I've watched bobby stripe many times and most of the time its straight from the can.
I've been a man of many hobbies since I was a kid and I've learned to transfer my knowledge from one hobby to the next. The perfect example would be the custom headbagdes. I bought a jewelers saw to work on my custom diecast models, figured I could use it to cut a headbadge, use my cartooning skills to make the design, used the hand lettering knowledge to transfer it from paper to the aluminum sheet, used the model building skills to cut it and used the self taught metal working skill to bang it into shape. That pretty much describes the whole process of everything I do. The fact that I want it badly enough and that I'm cheap is also a great motivator. Skills can be brought over to many hobbies and tasks. You just have to keep an open mind, see what a particular skill or tool can do for you and not what it's supposed to do. I also do some mean Access programming, but enough about me. :mrgreen:
An open mind will take you to places you never thought possible, that is for sure. 
I like that attitude. Von Mek is amazing, I can't believe that is all his work, it's so perfect! Spotless! :shock: That is talent. I love the green skirt guards and the eye on the cooler. :wink:

Bobby just had his 70 orange krate repainted and brought it to me too install the cables and adjust brakes and gears and install the kickstand, so I worked a little barter and had him add some stripes on my RatRod. Heres his krate and then my ratrod with new stripes.
Now the RatRod
