Primed for Renewal-1950 Columbia 5 Star

[TheFlyingDingo]

Throughout the years cities that once flourished in beauty are decaying and aging. While cities are ignored and left to rot, there are those who hope to keep their cities like they once were. These people inspired me to build this bike. The Original paint of the chainguard and fork are meant to represent the beauty that once was, and the fenders are meant to represent the decay. The primed frame represents the progress cities are seeing. The plate sort of represents the current state of (Certain Areas) of detroit

I have always had interest in graffiti and urban decay. Example of graffiti-The Obey Giant sticker on the seat tube (Obey Giant has a pretty cool story)



I apologize for the poor quality pictures!

Dingo!!!! Sweet Build! I would humbly suggest that the "gritty" photos PERFECTLY capture the feel you were trying to portray with your build.....(coincidence is a b*tch!!). Nicely done!

BTW - LOVE the Andre the Giant sticker and the pedals with "TEETH". Both details are subtle yet continue the effectiveness of the theme. Congrats!
