Fuck - so many replies...
so, yeah it all seems pretty conclusive, I'd probably get away with it, but end up feeling like a dick, and the point about ripping off well established frame builders is a good one... maybe a 'yossarian' decalled bike is the solution...

or I could just get a grip and chuck the frame away then fork out for a decent track frame...

to the scrap yard... then Japan. x

skeletonboy - that is pretty much the concern I had, it will cost a lot to have it re-sprayed, and yeah I was concerned about it rusting inside...

superprecise - yeah, i did that with my first bike, I much prefer having something on the frame though...

everyone else - I was joking about the unipack thing, i do ride, i have seen those things in the flesh, i know they're shit.

thanks for the replies... if you see ayone cycling up towards armortex, with a rusty bike on his back, holding a bag of five pound notes ...

well, would it be a bit weird to get an old frame, and stick Bob Jackson over the top, then pretend its a bob jackson bike? ya get me?

thanks its not my real name mind, youve read catch 22 right? my thinking was something along the lines of being insane to want to cycle through the traffic in london, though more insane to get, umm, public transport - i dont know, it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Hello, right, first post...

anyway, after a wild bender the other week I ended up buying a rusty old frame, a claud butler majestic, on ebay, i was sure it was some incredible old italian track frame as i fell into the keyboard bidding on it... anyway, my plan was to do it up, renovate back into something road worthy, and fixed gear... aside from the stuck seat post/ stem/ cranks etc I wanted to know...

is it fundamentally wrong to have it re-sprayed with a different logo on it? will anyone notice? has anyone here done it?

I wanted unipack on it - no really, i was thinking something that would be plausible, if its a reynolds frame would it be any different to stick another name, basically one with nicer logos, over the top, if they used simmilar frames???

any ideas? x

i've actually witnessed this at the zebra crossing she is standing on, she was walking out to the middle of the crossing with the stick as some guy flew past her, her response was to shout... in a particuarly nagging tone... "you nearly killed my children..." which i think was a bit overly dramatic. luckilly for me, as the road is on a pretty steep hill and i was going up it, i was barely moving.

"trying not to pedal will explode your kneecaps"
not the most convincing selling point.

basically i'm looking to buy a fixed gear bike.
ive looked into building one up myself which seems like the best idea, just a bit time consuming, and there is the danger that i'd just end up wildly throwing money about on ebay and not getting anywhere near a finished (and or safe) bike.
does anyone know anything about either the genesis flyer, bianchi pista or the fuji track bikes, these seem to be reasonably easy to get hold of and within my price range.
any advice or suggestions would be apreciated.
