This was my first fixed gear, and it's been great to me. It's stiffer and tighter-geometry than my other bikes, which is nice at times.

Did you do a clear coat or anything over the sharpie? How easily does it come off? Thinking of doing something like this

No I didn't. I think the chemicals in a clear coat would damage the Sharpie and make the ink run. So I just left it, and the Sharpie doesn't hold up very well. What does work a lot better are paint pens. On more recent projects I've used Molotow paint markers with much better success.

It was just some stick on letters that I bought somewhere. I lined them up with masking tape to get it straight.
