My new frame is currently being made so I was wanting to get the crayons out and design my paint job. Does anyone have a blank frame drawing, preferably with stem, forks and seatpost?

Sadly I'm an engineer and not a photoshop whizz so these basic things are a bit out of my depth!

No need to be a dick, the reason I'm asking on here is because there is nothing on Google.

edit: Bizarre, the first time I googled it, it was a few random pictures of bikes / motorcycles, and I tried again and it actually brought up some potentially usable things, odd.

I can't search due to blocking system at work, but try terms such as 'line drawing' or 'vector'.

Broady; send me a PM. I can draw something up for you, in 2D or 3D.

Bely had a drawing of his Argonaut in the gallery.
Save his photo, and use paint or something to change the design?

What I did when designing my paint job, may sound kind of stupid, but worked really well for me.
I couldn't find a picture of a blank Ridley Noah frame either, so I searched for a picture of a dark painted frame on a white background (plenty to find), magnified it, put a paper against my computer screen and drew the outline of the frame. Be sure to pick a dark colored frame so you can see the outlines. Then make the number of copies you want before you start drawing. Old school yes, but worked really well.

Along the lines of above, you could just use a paintbrush to touch up the black to make it more solid, then use a negative filter on the image to swap the colours.
