Wow - very nice.

Not thought about chrome forks, to offset against the chrome on the decals?

Sub, Yea, I thought about chrome forks but when I found this color on the shelf, I wanted to experiment on the forks before the frame cause its a pita removing powder coating if you don't like the color ...I had originally planned to do the frame in white or vdc green if I could find it but I only have one picture of a green one and its not a great picture to try n paint match.

Just out of curiosity - there should be 6 black "plugs", two in the back footpegs, two in the seatstay ends and 2 in the end where the downtube pierces the headtube. I can only see 4 though, nothing in the headtube. It the paint covering them up?

I have the pugs for the rear but this is the later/revised/2nd gen fram without the down tubes piercing the front..they also made the down tubes straight insted of with the bend..The early frames where breaking at the head tube and they made this change to stiffin up the bike a bit...

Cool - there's another snippet of information I was not aware of. Nice one.

What colours were available - I know there was chrome, white, orange and green. Might also have been a pink version - anyone know?

Can't wait to see pics of it when you're finished building it. I LOVE seeing rare gems like this coming back to life!

If I can find some Perigrine 48's or nice z rims, that's what it will be rollin on..Other wise my dk hubs with chrome Araya's will be on it. I have some Specialized 3pc and S&M gay bars that have been on all my riders over the last ten years. Oh and I scored an old set of the freestyle tires with the shoes on em...? Can;t remember the brand off hand.. I just found a Hutch stem.. Basically whatever I can scrap together asap so I can ride it smile.gif

The tires would be Odyssey Bare Feet Tires. Nice find.
