Finally after more than 2 months at the chrome platers I got my frame back. Its not the best job, but I'm gonna ride it so it will do. Give me about 24hrs and I'll be riding, post more pics soon.


WOW! but I'm wondering what stands out as being "not the best job", the pics do not reveal.

Contact Waza07 off the site here. I bet he can help you out. IF for some reason (within 48 hours) he cannot, I can. I am sending out a package to him and can include some true vintage brake cable in blue! You will have to contact him for it after that though.


Thanks for the tip TeamRob. biggrin.gif

I guess Im too fussy. Still has some fine dots and in tight places its not a polished /shiny. I guess they couldnt get in there. I'll see if I can get some close ups to show you.

Hey guys check her out. Its taken me a while but she looks just like she did back in 82' when I got her. Named her "ghettomoose". Tell me what you think biggrin.gif . I'll post some more close ups soon. Only thing I need is the nut and bolt for the og seat clamp. Mines threaded. then I can add the reflector. i've been putting a few k's on her and loving every minute. People seem to stair at it, not sure if its cause Im too old to be on a bmx or they like the bike. Thanks to everyone here for the advice and hook up tips. Any help on locating a nut and bolt for the seat clamp would be great.






Well Im off for a ride. tongue.gif tongue.gif tongue.gif
