Built this for my son to take to college. Just an old MTB frame, stripped, primed and spray painted. His nickname is Casino, hense the name of the bike. Made the stickers out of packing tape! Mostly original parts, because it will probably just get stolen anyway! Built the rear wheel around a 36h coaster hub. Hope you like it!

just as you intended, this bike looks like something you’d find at the canned food outlet. However, cutting your own lettering out of standard black tape is pretty genius (I may have to copy that).

@JCogswell, actually the lettering and headbadge were made from clear packing tape. You take a laser printed or photocopied image, then stick clear packing tape over it. Then run warm water over the back side until the paper has dissolved. You rub off all trace of the paper which leave the image stuck to the sticky side of the tape. The tape will have lost it’s stick due to the water, but if you let it dry it will become sticky again. Once it’s good and dry, you stick it onto the bike. It works with colour images too if you have access to a colour laser or photocopier.
