Reflexite V92 reflective material, with some color changing transparent tape from a hula hoop store, layer them over each other, and cut each piece by hand as desired and apply on the bike. Mine has been clear coated over, but should still stick to the bike pretty well as long as its cleanTLN wrote: ↑Wed Jan 24, 2018 5:09 pmThis is sooooo cool!mile2424 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 24, 2018 7:27 amor you could always do what I did.....

I'm down to something like that, but on other bike = Allez Sprint DSW. Frame is clearcoated, so if I can add reflective pattern, and it will be invisible during the day Do you have a link with description of a process?
Adding color to black bike. Ideas?

@IrrelevantD Can you pls post pics? I have the same frame and would love to see this. ThanksIrrelevantD wrote:Get some of the Supacaz fade tape. I have the purple Allez Sprint with White jagwire brake cables (shift is Di2) and I did the Supacaz Star Fade with black on top and white on bottom. My bars are Zipp aero, so they are only wrapped just past the bend at the tops. Black on top down to white in the drops worked really well.

Ask and ye shall receive...
I think this is my favorite pic of my Sprint.
Went a little more garish with my Crockett. But it was a little louder to begin with.
Cables are the Braided White Jagwire on both bikes.

How do you like the Fly12 vs the Fly12 CE? Maybe reply to my post over here - viewtopic.php?f=3&t=145364&p=1386606&hi ... o#p1386606IrrelevantD wrote: ↑Mon Mar 12, 2018 4:51 pmAsk and ye shall receive...

Is it one layer of supacaz or two? I've received one bike that was (still is actuall) doublewrapped in lizardskin, and it feels really nice. I'm tall guy so thicker handlebar makes more sense.
I have new cables on my Allez now, just waiting for bartape and was thinking about doublewrapping it, chineeze tape + supacaz on top.
I haven't done anything yet, but prepared plugs, stem caps, bartape a new cables. All in purple.fuel2000 wrote: I used bar tape and bottle cages to add a dash of colour to my Canyon.
Was thinking about grey combo (Black/Grey). Not sure if I want to see Black/Gold combo.

Just one. It switches colors 1/2 way. Same with the Specialized tape on then Crockett. That being said, I’ve done two before, just a PITA to make the transition between colors.TLN wrote: ↑Wed Mar 14, 2018 11:01 pmIs it one layer of supacaz or two?

I like the CE better for the quick mount, size and weight, but definitely less battery life. Had it die on me about 3.5h into a 4h ride. My Garmin kept turning on the light on me, so that’s might have been part of it. I’ve since turned light control off on my Garmin.jfranci3 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 12, 2018 9:07 pmHow do you like the Fly12 vs the Fly12 CE?

I've done a double-wrap on my Domane with supacaz on top. Was quite challenging. Will go for regular starfade (black + stars) pattern next time.IrrelevantD wrote: ↑Tue Mar 20, 2018 1:15 amJust one.

some vinyl wrap on the forks and top tube can add a whole lot of character cheaply and easily, something like this https://bunnyhop.com.au/pages/bike-wrap-gallery
