Lines & Designs by Robert Gagnon

Robert was referred to me by Joe Bell, one of the three top bicycle frame refinishers in the world — all within 25 miles of San Diego. I was getting my 1988 Holland lugged steel frame refinished after a crash (fourth repaint by Joe — see separate review).
I brought several ideas with me when we met at Joe Bell’s and he was very helpful in explaining what does and does not work on the smaller canvas of a bike frame. Of the suggestions I brought that he liked, he was able to suggest changes that made them more adaptable to a bike frame.
He worked with me to get the detail colors right, and the subtlety of his work is as amazing as its perfection. If I had a custom car, hot rod, or classic, I’d be excited to work with him to create something special. He sure did it on my bike frame.
When it was all done and the work of art was ready to reassemble into a bicycle, he charged me less than his original estimate.

I wanted a subtle change by way of pinstriping to my 2010 Dodge Challenger. Robert was referred to me by a friend. He came to my home, we talked for a while as to my preferences of design, color, etc. To say that I am pleased with the results would be a gross understatement. His work is beautiful and watching him is a treat. What a talent!
