Centre Pompidou frame.

I always thought that the Pompidou center in Paris was a really interesting building. To maximize space inside many of the service elements (plumbing, HVAC etc.) were put on the outside of the building. Then they were colored to represent their different functions. From the outside you could see many of the details of the inner workings of the building that are normally hidden.
I thought it would be interesting to do that with a bicycle frame. Kind of like a drawing that you could ride.
Hence, the Centre Pompoidiu frame, clearcoated and annotated to reveal some of the inner details that are normally hidden by paint.
