Geekhouse Bikes Powder Coating Graphics by Doug Black

Geekhouse just perfected a sublimated powder-coating technique that can recreate virtually any digital design on the surface of a bicycle. The Allston, Massachusetts company has been hand-crafting custom bikes for a number of years, but they debuted their new coating process on the track bike pictured above. Along with some unconventional touches (curved seat tube, triple triangle stays), they've coated the frame and front rim of the bike with a detailed paisley print that looks something like a classic bandanna.

In addition to most any color, the coating process can also work with chrome. Check out the Geekhouse site for other custom builds and look at more detailed images after the jump.
