Custom Paint by JB, The Pearl Bike
Builders who use only JB have named galleries.
Believe it or not I went out for the first virgin ride on my new bike TODAY!
Your awesome paintwork looks even better on a completely built up bike than it did frame alone. Everytime I look at the bike I see another new little detail that I had not yet noticed. It's really a phenomenal piece of work… Art!
Just wanted to let you know I think about you all the time when I look at it and hope you're doing well. I thought you might want to see a few photos that I took this afternoon post virgin ride.

COMMENTS:
There was a time back in the ’90s where I think we went more than a year at Bicycle Guide where Joe had sprayed every single bike we ran in Hot Tubes. I don’t think it’s an overstatement to say he is arguably the most important bicycle frame painter the U.S. has seen. Every other painter I know has cited him as an influence. The funny thing is just how modest Joe is about his own abilities. He’s far quicker to praise the work of other guys than he is to recall any of his own work.
