One of the most impressive bicycle makeovers that I have seen was by a blogger who I have read for a few years.
The before and after look like completely different bikes- seriously unbelievable.
Check out the post here;
When I first read this post it gave me so much more confidence that if you can find the right frame shape you can make a bicycle look so amazing even if it doesn't look vintage or at all your style when you get it! Enough so that this post has been bookmarked on my computer since it was published- Great inspiration.
Thanks so much for posting it Kaylah (The Dainty Squid)
I also found the D.I.Y. Bike makeover by A Beautiful Mess very inspiring back when it was posted nearly a year ago.
It is one of my most read blogs. (I may check it a couple of times a day just in case there is a new post!)
It really shows how a little bit of elbow grease, hard work and some new paint can reinvent a bicycle especially as many elements have stayed the same.
The post also has some great tips about supplies and methods to use for painting your own bicycle- some I am sure I will implement when it gets to it!
Please check out the post all about it here;

If anyone knows any other great makeovers let me know! And if I find any more I will be sure to link them here or on my pinterest bicycle board.
