Came as standard on my Inbred.

You can buy yorkshire rose stickers on ebay that will do the job.

Yorshire style? Is that a really thick skin of over-confidently applied paint? ๐Ÿ˜‰

Is that why you have Leeds as your location meehaja? ๐Ÿ™‚

Bradford's a poop hole, but an interesting poop hole. I like it.

Tom - what about a picture of Emley Mast going up the seat tube ๐Ÿ™‚

I was going to suggest a grey gravel type effect. Nothing too bright and uplifting like.

Or if you're military minded, what about the flag of the Yorkshire Regiment?

1. get a map of Yorkshire.
2. cut it up and glue it to your frame.
3. cut out pictures of your favorite emmerdale charactors and stick them on.
4. spray layers of laquer over the top. 8 coats should do it.

Job Done.

He has made a good job of it. How long are his shifts for his brother to get it that good?

I think it looks brilliant.

Must have taken a while to collect all the cards though.

Yorkshire Rose on head tube of 456 Summer Season, I think On One might be using it on everything now...

Surely a red rose would look better? ๐Ÿ˜‰
I'll get my coat and leave this thread now lol!
I'm down south now but originally from bacup - just over the hill in white rose county is todmorden so both red and white rose poorly represented there!

I hate to break it to you, but you're painting the wrong rose.
