I picked up this Volkscycle at the Missoula Festival of Cycles. I took it all apart, sanded the frame and painted it. Pretty poor paint job. My philosophy on paint jobs has changed a lot since then. I don't care so much what paint looks like anymore, sometimes the worse looking, the better. I don't want a bike to look too good because thieves will think it's worth stealing. Also, what you see there attached to the wall is a homemade PVC bike stand built by my friend Brandon, at my wife Kate's request for my birthday gift. Awesome, thoughtful gift and served me well until I was given a wall mounted Park Tool bike clamp/stand which I use currently. If I ever get a big enough shop, or start my own non-profit community bike shop, the homemade PVC stand will go up again.
