I've not seen a streetbeat chromed but I remember Dave Vanderspeck had the Streetbeat prototype in Chrome with T/A style stickers, red tuffs and blue and red components when he did the UK Curb Dogs tour. It's in BMX Action Bike 10/84. If you want to see I'll get some scans done.

There was a Chrome Streetbeat for sale on usbay a few months ago, it was a Nos one chromed by Skyway, I was going to bid on it, but I had just won a Nos 85 Performer & the streetbeat had no forks.

DCBMX was the seller & it never reached its reserve, so he may still have it.

About £150.

I don't reckon It's ever gonna get built, so I'll probably just stick on the bay anyway.

I wanted to get my mini Torker Copper plated but I couldn't find anywhere that could guarantee that it would come out perfect and would stay that way without tarnishing. :(

The red doesn't actually look real? I know it is, it just doesn't, it looks like it was done on a computer.
