Ok today i thought id get ripped into my 85 streetbeat . This is going to be a rider and not a carpet queen :wink: . Ive battled in my head for ages on the colourscheme and parts on this but eventually decided on black and white . I want to keep this bike clean looking without brake calipers , levers or cables , I havnt lost the plot tho as its got a coaster rear brake :wink: . Anyway today i scanned in the old decalset i peeled off and made up these custom ones instead in gloss black with a chrome outline . They are so hard to photograph but look so much better in real life . All i need now is to buy a set of grips and a chain , oh and myybe some different pedals :wink: . Overall im really pleased with how its turning out and love the clean look with no brakes . As for the padset please excuse it as its just an experiment to see what im going to make for it , its just a sticker on for now . :wink:

Not normally a fan of Streetbeats. Too many lurid colours. This one though... Sweet.

Looks great, like the decals.

Looks perfect overall and that paintwork looks super-shiny.

I'd lower the stem or use a flex-fighter to keep everything nice and neat.

N13L VV · « **Reply #18 on:** October 17, 2010, 08:55 PM »

Yeah i wanted to run it clean with no calipers n cables so ive got a coaster tuff on the rear

. Not sure i can live with it tho so might change to calipers .

They do take some getting used to that's for sure.

Lovely

nice bike N13L !

like the colours you picked, nice balanced look there. If I had buckets of money wouldn't mind one of my own but for now 1/2 a bike is keeping me busy LOL

saw this (link below) while I was looking for my first frame, no good for a rider but very pretty nonetheless (can anyone ID the power disc?)
there's a whole series of pictures on there from a while back when someone apparently dug up a load of raw frames and they had a competition
