I believe the very fine line style of pin striping on old bikes is done
with a ruling pen and not a brush. Saw it done...

Hello Chuck,
I saw a fellow had applied pin stripping to a vintage bike that looked nice. He said it was applied with a special roller paint kit for this purpose. This is not a house paint roller; its a little wheel gadget that paints thin line; crooked or straight.
I'll not sure what a ruler pin is but that might be integrated in the roller gadget.
I think I saw this in stripping gadget on ebay.
