Can anyone tell me what colors the Race Inc RA10 came in? I am going to be building one soon and want to settle on a color scheme.

...the test bike in Super BMX was chrome plated, thats awesome. I wonder how well it held up or why other manufacters didnt follow suit.

Alex, I believe most of the chrome frames ended up getting warranty because the chrome was cracking badly from the alloy frame flex.

84profile, where did you get yours annodized? Mine is raw and I wanted anno'd blue. A board member here ripped me off for cash...services not rendered...and as a result my frame is still waiting to get finished.

Hi PK Ripped,

I'm actually in Australia, so I don't think that is going to help you....although if you get desperate I would be happy to organise it for you...

I have a local anodiser that does amazing work. Amazing prices too (wish I could say the same for my Chromer)...How about $85.00 for frame/ handlebars/seat post/ 2 sets of cranks/ 2 spiders/ 1 chainwheel! I polished it up by hand then had it anodised. Came up pretty nice in my opinion.

Cheers Stu

84profile. Where did you get it anodised? I am also in Oz.

Was your frame polished then anoed or was it bright anoed?

Keen to know and I know Waza will be keen to know as well.wink.gif

Hey Sumo, I have a place half way between the Gold Coast and Brisbane that does amazing work. A-Grade Anodising PH 07 5540 7677.

They do regular or bright anodising. I went for regular, as I wanted the shine of the polished frame to come through. Problem is my regular polisher closed up shop, so didn't trust anyone else to polish it, as I've seen some beautiful welds distroyed by linishing wheels. So I did it all by hand...what time consuming job that was!!

I think going with Bright anodising process would be strictly be more era correct (for the purists) but I really like the gloss finish the polished and regular anodising gives on this frame.

you got a ball park cost for the frame?

I think my Australia price for the frame was actually a batch cost..Ie the frame would have been $100 and all the other bits were no extra...
