Can the owner or somebody comment on the pinstripe art on this bike.
http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/Dave-Ross-bikes I keep going back to
look at it and just can't get over how beautiful it is. My comment on the
fork leg art is "Charles Rennie Mackintosh meets Von Dutch". Was this
original paint? Are there other bikes with elaborate artwork rooted in the
turn of the century English arts and craft movement? Where and when was this
bike built? One day I would love to commission one of the current pin stripe
gurus to decorate a 40's or 50's era track machine along the line of Dave's
bike. Stunning work!
